android tablet running rsw_client.py

[Gorf]

question for David

how much ram/rom do you think it would take to install rsw_client (w python, etc) on an android tablet?

One of the machines I am running with rswgame is an old Dell Xenon sever with 4GB. client runs ok but is slow by today's standards

I'm going to buy a tablet that I can play rswgame on exclusively

Does wxPython exist for Android? I'd be a bit surprised if it does, but I haven't looked into it. If it doesn't, you won't be able to run rsw_client on your Android tablet, sorry to say.

On the other hand, if it *does* exist, you should be fine. The RAM requirements depend on how big a game you want to try to play, but should be reasonable for most reasonable-sized games.

thanks for getting back so quickly

I remembered just after i posted that there is no wxPython for +-any android OS Linux

actually, i'm sure someone is working on it tho:)

David,

RSW Client is a simple install on Zorin OS. No worries about wxpython, etc. Did you update the platform independent python client?

Zorin is a great OS if anyone is interested Zorin-os.com

Cool, I'm glad it installed cleanly. The platform-independent client is at version 1.0.6.3, which is the same version as the Windows and Mac installers.

Does this mean you can or cannot run RSW on an android or Ipad?

[drwr]

No, it's not currently possible, sorry.
