Thanks again Javi, will test it for sure.

Edit: So far everything appears to be working fine!

 

[MikeHart]

Is there a file format description you can post?

To the Windows users, that might have problems running MeshTool and FontTool like i had, here are binaries that should run:

Anybody have the new built versions of the Vortex Model Importer and other?

I'm struggling to compile them after doing a complete system format. I need to Font and Mesh Tools. Thanks

I will make a PR to Javi's repository soon.

Why do the demos take so long to start on Android? Sometimes the system will even show a dialog asking me if I want to close the app, because it is taking so long. Also it crashes when leaving then resuming the activity. Once they show up they run at a great frame rate and look great. I tried them on an Android 8.1 device.

Also when I tried them on an Android 4.4 device it just crashes.

I haven't tested it on any other Android devices yet, and I just tried out the demos so far.

Ted's console shows this on Android 8.1. (Going back to the home screen and then returning to game activity crashed the demos.)

Ted's console shows this on Android 4.4. (Crashes immediately after launch.)

Otherwise it's working great for me on GLFW and HTML.

Yes, it takes a while to load but run on my Samsung Galaxy A51 (Android 11). Low frame rates around 15-20 fps. I just notice graphics errors/glitches with the robot and swamp the most.
Angel and Mars took the longest to load. At first I thought it crashed but then it showed up.
Graphic glitches with the shadow test too when you let the windmill model turn. Even without shadows.
I guess the shadows don't work right.

Any ideas on if this will be fixed?
