so linux smartphones are starting to come out. such as the pinephone. I assume that minetest could be combiled for them, but the question is, could touchscreen controls work for them? I think not, yet, but maybe it would be good to somehow inolude touchscreen controls as a setting available to any platform, not just android. also, there are touchscreen windows devices.
it would also be good to be able to disable touchscreen controls on android, and use mouse and keyboard (attached with bluetooth). that is also not currently possible

Re: minetest on linux smartphones
<pedantic> well, technically Android is a Linux smartphone </pedantic>
Ideally, Minetest would be able to detect touchscreens and enter touchscreen mode itself on desktop, and do vise-versa when a mouse and keyboard are detected on Android
It's possible to build Minetest 5.5-dev with support for touchscreens, use: cmake . -DENABLE_TOUCHMisterE wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 21:20so linux smartphones are starting to come out. such as the pinephone.

Re: minetest on linux smartphones
as a start to that, would it be easy to have minetest compile with touchscreen support automatically, and have touchscreen mode enableable in the settings?

Is there no way to enable mouse support on android at the current time?Ideally, Minetest would be able to detect touchscreens and enter touchscreen mode itself on desktop, and do vise-versa when a mouse and keyboard are detected on Android
