Hey, according to Androidpolice, a developer named Dan Aloni has been working on a tool called winulator to let windows executables run on android. He's gotten sc:BW running on it.

Here's a video of sc:bw running on an Asus Eee Pad: (Not public yet).



Pretty awesome! I hope we get to see this in the App Store soon. I imagine the way it will work would be a bit complicated, with you needing to re-locate all the BW files on your device in order to run and not break Blizzard's copy rights over their content. Right click is also a sorely missing feature -- I'd love to see support for something like two finger tap to emulate right click.

That's pretty cool. You can watch replays on Android now.

Good point about the replays, I didn't think of that. I'm not sure how the screen movement control works, though.

yea, imo best for trying out wallings on maps where you're unsure on walling and for watching replays.

If Starcraft can be played on an N64 then I don't see why it can't be played on a touchscreen.
I am Terranfying.

it's not about the touchscreen but rather it running on Android, an operating system that BW was not developed for.

Plus with many phones and tablets having blu tooth capability, you can now run them as you would a desktop.

Wow, I have to say that's really badass. You can have a LAN party with random strangers in the subway now! Even settle a bet with a quick 1v1 over coffee.

Next thing you know, everyone's carrying one of those roll-up keyboards in their pocket.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

That's pretty badass. Looks like I'd suck even worse at this than the PC version, eh.

Sweet invention! Now I'm waiting for advanced 3D interactive version where you point your finger at the SCVs and yell "You! Go and mine minerals NOW! No, from SEPARATE patches goddamnit!". I'm sure Japanese scientists are already working on it.

lol, mutas go micro and kill the terran, easy win?^^

this app is so awsome, they should put a option somewhere when you you hold a finger at X place it will give you rightclick instead of left.
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.
