Blender GE on Android - Touch Input

Game Engine Game Engine Resources

Hi everyone in Blender world. Just thought I would show off what I have found out while trying to make a touch screen 3D Pool Game. I will upload a Demo file witch is still a major work in progress but all the basics have been set-up.
I would like people to Test/ Rebuild/ or just to let me know the best way about building games for android. This is my first Android Game attempt I’m no good at Java so I would like to further this technology for the blender users out there.
The game is run Mostly By Mouse Over + Left Click Sensors Linked to message sensors for the input control, I have not seen this to be used for any Touch Games within Blender.

I hope this give some ideas to others to build more basic (or even complicated) games for android

Thanks All will be waiting to see what you guys think. Any questions, Please post here so the info does not waffle off.

Ive been testing this on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 8020 (a little Slow and some errors like wont use collision groups and some textures play up?)

Hello
your demo is too slow in my poor arnova 7/1 ghz!
Keep in mind that most Android devices are “slow” machines, specially on the “graphics side”!
The Blender Player is already “slow” with fast processors/graphics cards, then in a low specs device?..
Thank you for sharing!
Bye

Here Try this, no more spot lights, texture for table disabled and atmosphere sounds disabled. runs a bit faster on my galaxy tab 10.1 than before.

Reduce the amount of vertices for the balls. They don’t need so much vertices.
The cue has also to much vertices.
Delete the bottom and the feets of the table.
