View source for Android port (OpenXcom)

There is a work-in-progress port to Android of OpenXcom here: [https://github.com/cpages/OpenXcom/tree/android github link]

=I just want to play=
Ok, so if you're too lazy to build it ;) and just want to give it a try, here are the steps you should follow:
* Get the beta apk [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3hKlvL6jSs8eGkzZWZPRWx5Z0E from here] and install (you'll have to trust me on this, but it only asks for filesystem access)
* Get the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3hKlvL6jSs8VGp6MFRWYnN0bUk OpenXcom data] + [http://openxcom.org/index.php/downloads-extras/ extra music] (tested with original ogg from Volutar). Unzip all of this in your phone under /storage/sdcard0/openxcom (you should have a /sdcard simlink, so /sdcard/openxcom should work too). If you have an external sd card, you can also place it there (/storage/extSdCard/openxcom).
* You also need a copy of the original data (you can get that in many places if you don't have it, like steam). Copy the following folders in the same place (/sdcard/openxcom/data): GEODATA  GEOGRAPH  MAPS  ROUTES  SOUND  TERRAIN  UFOGRAPH  UFOINTRO  UNITS
* Finally, and this is also important, you have to erase or rename the file SOUND/GM.CAT, as otherwise the game will attempt to use the original midi sound which does not work yet in android.

=Differences with PC version (battlescape)=
* Path preview is enabled by default
* Shoot works in the same way as path preview, first press to aim, second to shoot
* Phone back button acts as right button (quits shooting mode, for instance)
* Swipe map to scroll
* Swipe from selected soldier to make him turn

=Known issues=
* Exiting the game hangs. Just kill the app from android for now.
* Don't leave the game while in text enter mode. When going back, it won't reappear and you'll be stuck editing the text.
* Music keeps playing when the app is running on background

=Changelog=
* beta2 (21/02/14)
** Update to upstream 0d04dcc
** Update SDL2 to 8225
** Fixes #460 (exit units stats page with back button)
* beta1
** [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3hKlvL6jSs8cVhXQk4xMkRLZlk apk]
** [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3hKlvL6jSs8Rkpla0s3SGJYSEk data + music]
