Game developing on pc? - General Questions and Answers

Hey
So my pc kinda has limited capabilities, so i was wondering if there is an app to download that lets you write games on your android device, similar to AIDE which is used for apps, just instead now for games. Thanks

[Q] Open Feint, online multiplayer, Gun Bros and other questions (long rant)

Having come recently from iOS to Xperia Play, I 'm finding its online multiplayer severely lacking compared to iOS. There are some questions deeply rooted (lol) in my mind which I can't find answers for and hope the knowledgeable people here can help me with.
First, I am no Apple fanboy (though I respect their products) , I prefer playing games with physical buttons hence my switch to Xperia Play. However, comparing Gun Bros online multiplayer iOS and Android versions I must ask:
1) Why does the game Gun Bros ask me to have a GameSpy account and a wifi connection when on iOS I could play online multiplayer IMMEDIATELY via GameCenter and even via 3G? (Well, the connection was sometimes slow, but it worked).
2) Why is the game forcing me to open a Facebook account in order to play online? Personally I despise Facebook and will never use it. The iOS version did no such thing.
3) Why does Open Feint NOT provide online multiplayer the same way GameCenter does on iOS?
4) Are there at all any games I can play on my Xperia Play using on-line multiplayer the same way GunBros does in iOS version? I mean, two players doing the same level co-operatively where I can see the other player and his actions on my screen.
4) If there are such games, am I am ok with just Open Feint or do I have to use some stupid additional app like Facebook or GameSpy?
Thanks for any answers and sorry if I sound a bit negative. I do love gaming on Xperia Play, it's a lovely handset, I just find its multiplayer features so far very limited.
I'll try and answer your questions as good as i can, allright?
1) God knows. It's the Developers decision, how he manages stuff. And you can bet your ass that it's a different developer(team?) vor the iOS and Android versions.
2) Same as 1.
3) GameCenter is by Apple from Apple for Apple.. it's on every iPhone and provides such functionality. Android does not have such a standard (yet?).
4) Am not the type to play multiplayer games. I emulate most games i play (PSX, GBC, SNES, GENESIS) and i only have 2 other XPeria Play users as friends.. that never really play the type of games i enjoy.
5) (Presumably..) Game developers will probably provide their own servers, or you'll be able to run your own on your handset. On iOS such fucntions cannot be implemented, so developers HAVE to use their own Servers (correct me if i'm wrong here, though).
All in all, iOS is the simplier variant of .. pretty much anything.
But if you want REAL customisation, aswell as a real swiss army knife at your hands - Android is much better.
(How did i end up in a iOS vs Android phrase.. i don't really..)

How about a TSO app?

Hello,
I love to play the Settlers online.
www.thesettlersonline.com
And I would like to play it on my Android device.
Since the creators of the Settlers online don't want to think about making the game playable on any other device than pc, I was wondering if someone XDA could make a forwarder or something...
The biggest problem is, it uses Flash.
I, for one, have got a Xperia S which does not have much capabilities about Flash games.
I tried Dolphin browser and other browsers, but it wouldn't work.

[Q] Games played on Android and PC

I've been searching for awhile now, and can't find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a local multiplayer game that you play on PC and android devices simultaneously. An example would be a card game where each person's hand would be on their phone, and the card table would be on the PC where every body could see. I have my PC connected to my TV, so something like this would be awesome for when we have people over. They could communicate through either WiFi, or Bluetooth. I know there are a few games like this that uses Chromecast, but I have no need for that considering my computer is connected to my TV already. Does anybody know if games like this exist? If not..why not!? Thx in advance for any feedback.
Well man i guess you can use an android emulator on pc such as bluestacks or something...search for it and read about it

Seeking Developer Help for networking codebase

I'm looking to create a video game that uses a PC or console to drive the communal screen, while smartphones are used as controllers (running a companion app). Examples of this are most of, if not all, Jackbox Games. airconsole.com is also a suitable example.
Can someone out there help me with this? iOS and Android required.
