Android port for C++ version

This is not the other existing mobile version (which is a fork of the original Flash version). This is a port of the C++ desktop version, because the C++ version has gotten many improvements since the source release (along with Flash being deprecated in general).

How to Build

The recommended way is to install Android Studio.

1. Place a copy of data.zip in desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/app/src/main/assets/. (If the assets/ folder doesn't exist, then create it.)
2. Clone the SDL repository and place it next to where you've cloned the VVVVVV repository. Make sure to check out SDL 2 and not the latest as of writing (SDL 3).
3. Open the desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/ folder in Android Studio.
4. Click 'Build'.

How to Install and Play

After building, go to desktop_version/VVVVVV-android/app/build/outputs/apk/, copy the APK of the appropriate architecture to your device, and install it.

Touchscreen support is currently not implemented, so you will need to connect a keyboard or controller to your device in order to play the game.
