Minetest Android port
=====================
Date: 2014 06 28

Controls
--------
The Android port doesn't support everything you can do on PC due to the
limited capabilities of common devices. What can be done is described
below:

While you're playing the game normally (that is, no menu or inventory is
shown), the following controls are available:
* Look around: touch screen and slide finger
* double tap: place a node or use selected item
* long tap: dig node
* touch shown buttons: press button
* Buttons:
** left upper corner: chat
** right lower corner: jump
** right lower corner: crouch
** left lower corner: walk/step...
   left up right
       down
** left lower corner: display inventory

When a menu or inventory is displayed:
* double tap outside menu area: close menu
* tap on an item stack: select that stack
* tap on an empty slot: if you selected a stack already, that stack is placed here
* drag and drop: touch stack and hold finger down, move the stack to another
  slot, tap another finger while keeping first finger on screen
  --> places a single item from dragged stack into current (first touched) slot

Special settings
----------------
There are some settings especially useful for Android users. Minetest's config
file can usually be found at /mnt/sdcard/Minetest.

* gui_scaling: this is a user-specified scaling factor for the GUI- In case
               main menu is too big or small on your device, try changing this
               value.
* inventory_image_hack: if your inventory items are messed up, try setting
               this to true

Known issues
------------
Not all issues are fixed by now:

* Unable to exit from volume menu -- don't use the volume menu, use Android's
  volume controls instead.
* 512 MB RAM seems to be inadequate -- this depends on the server you join.
  Try to play on more lightweight servers.

Versioning
----------
Android version numbers are 4 digits instead of Minetest's 3 digits.  The last
number of Android's version represents the Android internal version code. This
version code is strictly incremental. It's incremented for each official
Minetest Android build.

E.g. prerelease Minetest Android builds have been 0.4.9.3, while the first
official version most likely will be 0.4.10.4

Requirements
------------

In order to build, your PC has to be set up to build Minetest in the usual
manner (see the regular Minetest documentation for how to get this done).
In addition to what is required for Minetest in general, you will need the
following software packages. The version number in parenthesis denotes the
version that was tested at the time this README was drafted; newer/older
versions may or may not work.

* android SDK (x86_64 20131030)
* android NDK (r9d)
* wget (1.13.4)
