 * 720×1280 px at 316 ppi
 * !16:9 aspect-ratio
 * 16M colors
 * Multi-touch, capacitive touchscreen

= Design =
== User Interface ==
Due to the vastly different controls and form factor, the whole user interface of the game needs to be rethought for the Android edition.

== Libraries ==
Android-compatible replacements must be found for all [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions#Linux the dependencies of the PC edition]. This is what we have so far:

 * GCC - the Android NDK provides its own ndk-build tool for compiling.
 * Subversion - assuming this is just for obtaining the source, this can be done on a PC workstation.
 * SDL - is already [http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL/README.android ported to Android].
 * Boost - there is [https://github.com/MysticTreeGames/Boost-for-Android an unofficial port].
 * zlib - libz is part of the native NDK.
 * libpng - there's unofficial ports like [https://github.com/julienr/libpng-android this one].
 * libxml2 - Google publishes [https://github.com/android/platform_external_libxml2 a tree] that is tuned to compile on Android.
 * OpenGL - this must be ported to OpenGL ES.
 * OpenAL - this should be ported to OpenSL ES.
 * zip - not sure which exact library this refers to.
 * libogg - may be covered by Tremor (below).
 * libvorbis - this can be [http://www.badlogicgames.com/wordpress/?p=451 done with Tremor].
 * libcurl - may be ported [http://thesoftwarerogue.blogspot.com/2010/05/porting-of-libcurl-to-android-os-using.html like this].
 * Gamin - don't know about this one.
 * CMake - all build tools are provided by the NDK.
