The Minetest android client sucks!

[dark_knight]

I am serious. It acts more like a wrapper for the pc minetest with controls substitute like single tap for left click double tap for right click. It makes certain things like holding right mouse button impossible. Also an initial splash screen would be nice. As for controls mods should implement separate touch control scheme but I do believe the lua api does not allow anything of that sort. What does the community thinks about it??

Yes, it sucks.

Yes, it is SUCH a shit -.-.

Try once and NEVER AGAIN!

sorry dev-team ... but I'll stick to the PC version;)

not at all ... but control is ... it is ... from another dimension

The minetest in android goes fine: it only needs a way better GUI more suited for touch screens than computers. If Minetest for android had a decent GUI it would be a way better game for android.

My experience trying to get it to work was that it was awful, broken, and unusable, and the solutions suggested here were no solutions at all. I'm not at all surprised the ad-infested forks are more commonly used, as they appeared to actually work.
It sounds like it's actually gotten better, but there's still a long way to go.

and if i play MineClone2 with the android port ... Minetest will crash after a couple of secounds
