Hello Mahmoud,

Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, I have started a new project to build Ring with RingLibSDL for Android. It uses the latest versions of the SDL2 libraries, as the current "extensions/android/ringlibsdl" project depends on outdated tools and dependencies.

This new setup allows the build process to be done from the terminal using Gradle or directly within Android Studio.

In the future, I might also add optional support for RingRayLib.

If you are interested, I can create a pull request to update the current project once the new one is finished.

Best regards,
Youssef

Hello Youssef

>> "If you are interested, I can create a pull request to update the current project once the new one is finished."

Yes, I am very interested in such a useful/necessary update :D

Also, during update, feel free to update the related chapter: Building Games For Android — Ring 1.23.0 documentation

So, we can follow your steps during testing.

Suggestion for interested contributors in the future: 

Your animation samples (Text, Shapes, etc.) could be used to develop a DSL for presentations/slides

Something like

load "presentation"    # This should load your library of animation functions based on LibSDL

presentation {

      Slide {

            text {

                 content = "Welcome to Ring programming"

                 animation = :AnimationType  

                 # ....

            }

            #.... More content 

      }

      # More slides

}

By defining classes for presentation, slides, text, images, shape & customAnimation, many good presentations could be done quickly.

Hello Mahmoud,

Thank you for your reply. I'm pleased to know you are interested in the update.

I will move forward with the plan to create a pull request and will also update the corresponding documentation chapter.

That is an excellent suggestion regarding a DSL for presentations. Thank you for sharing it.
