Can't seem to get the website to play along with my new galaxy tablet s8. Keeps scrolling when I try to draw, no matter what I try.
Is there any way to decently run the desktop client on android that you know of?

Unfortunately none that I would know of.
I once tried to port the code for android and I got some of it working but it was very unfinished and I'm not sure where the code is now... I keep trying to port the code into C++ to get rid of the java dependency, and to get ability to use the same code for windows and android but I'm not even 5% done with that...
The site has had quite low amount of active users the last 5-8 years and I've gotten more into vr lately, and a real software dev job, so I haven't had a lot of time, energy and motivation to work on the conversion... If it seems like there's a lot of interest for that I might continue working on it
Yeah, I figured.
You've already done more than enough for the community. It shouldn't distract you from the more important things, especially considering the kinda-dead state the site is in.
And since the client is so desktop oriented, I bet it'd be way too much work to make it comfortable for tablet use. You'd have to rearrange everything.
Thanks for replying!
I just want to let it be known that this question inspired me to work on the conversion project again. There's still a lot to do before it's minimally usable (event system, drawing manager, networking and a lot of ui), but progress is progress. Since I'm practically rewriting it from scratch, I'm trying to make it a more generic vector drawing program with dod support from the start rather than a dod client with some vector support like the old one is. And I get to structure the code better (hopefully >.<). But the more differences there are, the less I can just convert from the old code...
