Android Wear came up with the need to provide an optimized system for smartwatch him to take better advantage of simple hardware wearable devices. To be derived from open source, it was expected that Android fans developers do adaptations of famous applications, including up games. With the help of the app SDLash , which has the ability to emulate the GOLDSOURCE graphics engine, it was possible to bring the acclaimed Half-Life for your wearable device.
You Dave Bennet YouTube managed to adapt the famous Valve’s shooter game for Android Wear. But playing in a watch with 1.5-inch screen can be interesting? Or rather, is it possible? See the video below and follow a demonstration of the Half-Life game in action. Of course, select items, choose weapons or survive through the end will be much more complicated than it would in a traditional PC.
The most interesting part is that this graphics engine allows it to be possible to emulate virtually every game the same generation of Valve. Even though there is no point in trying to play on your smart watch, the feat goes to show the capacity that Android Wear has to adapt to any change , according to user needs and developer. What does Valve think of this feat?
We have to take into account that the hardware of a smartwatch is quite modest, you should limit the amount of games to be ported to the device. In this case Half-Life, we note that in some moments the title runs stable 30 FPS (common standard on current consoles), but sometimes we can see a considerable drop to 10 FPS – resulting in a lag notable that comes to disrupt gambling. This problem will be even more visible in most current games that demand for more powerful hardware.
