To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

How to Install Pioneer Alpha 18 on a mobile phone ?
No-one has ported it to run on a mobile phone yet.
You would need to fork the project into your own Git account and then port it yourself.
If that's what the question was asking anyway.
I've given it some thought in the past and I'd probably use one of the cross-platform C++ wrapper like http://www.cocos2d-x.org/ or https://www.madewithmarmalade.com/ , although you do have to pay for the latter one.
Otherwise you'd have to do the work of getting it to run using the NDK for Android. Actually an iPhone/iPad port might be easier because we do already have working Mac XCode builds.
Whatever you decided to do you would have to rewrite the shaders to use OpenGL ES 1.0 or 2.0
TL;DR - it doesn't run on a mobile phone at the moment - even though my mobile phone does have more CPU cores and a better GPU than Brianetta's Intel laptop 😆
