Android on the Big Screen

I have been wondering about if BGEE:Android would have support for things like USB-OTG and HDMI ports? Maybe not on initial release but eventually. Its just that most recent Android tablets and phones have support for those and it would be a great way to have BG as a portable game but also playable on the big screen as well using a keyboard and mouse over USB-OTG.

    I like the idea... Being a touch screen input it might be a tough play.

    I suppose that there could be the choice of either control system. After all many games allow choice between keyboard, mouse and joypad on pc's

    All Android 4+ natively supports both keyb and mouse... so if you have enough USB ports, attach them!

    The mouse will work for sure, it simulates touches... not sure about the keyboard, the game should expect keypresses for it to work, since normally these happens only with the on screen keys, this must be done on purpose by overhaul.

    Speaking for myself, I can live without the keyboard if the autopause works well :)
