I know how many android topics there are but this is different. sfan5 has compiled minetest on android but the irrlicht examples don't work. He hasn't actually tried to run minetest and I have asked for a download multiple times. I can't compile it myself so could someone make an apk for me to download and test. If it doesn't work on a lower android version( if that is the one you are using) it might on mine since I have the latest is version. Thank you for considering.

yeah, I was trying to do the same thing by compiling it through emscripten. Then you could play it through any new browser.

The devs there said it would be tough. - http://pastebin.com/EYvtDYbz

The word is JavaScript doesn't like to pull in separate libraries. They recommend rebuilding all the libraries together as one file.

Also, they say you'd need to use WebSockets.

I have half of the libraries converted over into bitcode if anyone wants to try to go further with it. Can continue trying to convert the others if anyone really wants me to.

No, it doesn't, unless you use plugins to embed the game (i.e. what Quake Live does) in a browser window. You could do this with any browser, not just Chrome.
