They manage to install the Minecraft game on an Android Wear smart watch
The Android Wear platform has more and more followers. And it is that the smart watches, although for now they are a created necessity more than a true utility, they surprise and like equal parts. Even more so when the independent developers manage to come up with ideas that are a little short of crazy but with interesting results. This is the case of trying one of the most popular indie (independent) games on an interesting watch.With what purpose? Apparently, purely and simply to show that it can be done.
The merits must be given to the user of YouTube Corbin Davenport A technology connoisseur who decided to try installing the very famous construction gameMinecraft (now from Microsoft) on your Samsung Gear watch Live, one of the first devices with Android Wear The result is, to say the least, surprising. And it looks like a relatively playable title even on the screen that the user wears on the wristOf course, with some technical deficiencies.
According to the author of the demo video, Davenport himself, the installation process was not a significant challenge. And it is that he only installed the application of the game Minecraft: Pocket Edition of his mobile on the clockusing the APK file (application).All this in manual, of course. Without the need to adapt or carry out extra programming tasks, the application/game works on the wearable device or that is dressed as shown in the video itself.
While it is true that the game displays correctly on the small 1.65-inch square screen, the technical power of theclock does not offer a smooth and comfortable operation of the title. Something that does not prevent, however, being able to enjoy it for a while, being able to explore the maps of this game, build patiently some type of building thanks to the different types of blocks or destroy as many others All this with slowdowns and a little rough control that only allows the use of one finger on this small screen.
However, it is proof that Android Wear is a platform built to interface directly with the operating system Android Question that, without a doubt, will bring many other surprises like this version even more pocket (pocket) of Minecraft or any other title that can be played on the wrist. And it is that watches like the Samsung Gear Live have technical specifications on a par with old mobile terminals. Either because of its processor Snapdragon 400 capable of moving at a speed of 1.2 Ghz or its 500 MB of RAM , it is more than qualified to host applications and even some games that do not require a great technical deployment.
For the moment it is just an experiment, but it invites us to think that there are many more possibilities to be developed through the platform Android WearAnd it is that smart watches could well acquire new senses and utilities beyond being a more handy screen to receive notificaciones
