Title: İs it possible to run retrolemmini on android?
Post by: heart66 on June 28, 2026, 07:50:49 PM
Since Retrolemmini is Java based, can we run it in android?
İt will be nice to play classical Lemmings on android.

Probably, but the amount of work required to make this happen isn't something I'd want to take on myself without a significant amount of help.

İ wish I was 20 years younger. I am in my 60s. Last software I made in Turbo Pascal was on 1995.
Though, I can help with the system design and specification. I am retired now for the last 15 years

I can sympathise. I wish I'd discovered programming in my 20s rather than late 30s, but those years were spent trying to make it as a musician. No regrets of course, as it was a fantastic experience and I was very lucky to have the opportunity to develop my musical skills at a young age - it's probably made learning programming a bit easier in some ways.

In all honesty: mouse, keyboard and a monitor is the best way to play lemmings. I've tried other ways (including on a mobile device) and none of them provide anywhere near as good a player experience. Knowing this, it's difficult to find the motivation to develop a mobile-based version.

With that said, if you did want to take a look at it with me at some point, I'd be open to exploring the possibilities. The RetroLemmini source code is here (https://github.com/Willicious/RetroLemmini).
