Hi there!
I dedicate this post to the return from my long absence from the blog, and secondly, to the first article dedicated to the Blender Game Engine!
I worked a lot to create demos, VR and small experiments and today i want to share with you one of those experiments with the python scripting inside the game engine:
Overview
This short demo shows the movement python script that i usually use to explore my real-time models.
It’s a double tap and drag interface, useful on touchscreens, so it works on Desktop pc into the Blender Game Engine, but its suitable for the Android platform (through the Blender port) because of the similar interaction with Google Streetview.

In order to test the script simply press ‘P’ key into Blender to start the game
Blender Game Engine for Android devices
Drop the .blend file (the download link is at the bottom in this page ) into your Android device and open it with the BlenderPlayer Android application from:
http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/BlenderPlayer_08_02_12_4.apk
Download
Walk-to_BGE_Script - Downloaded 8 times(Sign in or register to download. It’s free)
im downloading the BlenderPlayer Android application to my laptop now but how do i “drop the .blend file into my android”? do i need a flashdrive or possibly email it to my phone? and then what application on the android will be able to play and edit it?…
Hi!
If you are downloading the BlenderPlayer from http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/BlenderPlayer_08_02_12_4.apk
you could install it like any other application on your phone or tablet.
I usually download it directly from the phone, but you can email it if you prefer!
Then for the Walk-to_BGE_Script blend, once extracted the zip, use the same technique: download or email to the phone.
Now you can open it from your email, it should ask you if you wanna open it with the BlenderPlayer. Otherwise you can open the BlenderPlayer from the app menu, and then select a blend file when asked.
Hope it helped!
Cheers Sparazza
