Greetings Glider fans! Well, it is 2014, and I have ported my old Glider game from 1997 over to Android for you to play on your current devices! The game is basically the same as before, I wrote an ANSI terminal emulator for Android to run the game's original C code pretty much unmodified via the NDK. You can use the touch screen controls on a mobile or tablet to emulate the arrow keys, and touch in the center to select. On an Android Wear device, you can touch the display on the edges to emulat
e the arrow keys. The wearable also allows you to tilt the device to emulate the arrow keys. If you have a game controller or TV then the game supports those controls as well.This is *really* old messy code that I wrote back when I was learning to program in C back in 1996. It was designed to run on text terminals over slow serial connections in my university Unix labs, which is why the graphics are the way they are! :)Here are some links to the original game this is based on, written by John Calhoun back in 1990:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F3oUr2QPQ0https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/glider/id482536700?mt=12http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/macintosh/glider.htmlSource code is available under GPLv3 here: https://github.com/waynepiekarski/android-glider
