Description

After project s.t.a.l.k.e.r died this is the biggest hope for an android port, which would be awesome. Morrowind has had an Android port for a very long time, so I believe that an android port will create plenty of publicity and allow more people to start working on OpenXRay.

Android runs on opengl and vulkan mostly, right? and plenty of Linux operating systems are ARM based so I think an Android port would be very awesome.

Android port will create more publicity and supporters for the project, and will give windows users a reason to check this out.
