Android support?

[ravener]

Is this supposed to run on Android or is any support planned? After running the Lamborghini example I got:

Error

3DreamEngine/init.lua:190: The rgba16f canvas format is not supported by your graphics drivers.


Traceback

Will be called automatically in the future, but for now try dream.renderSet:setMode("direct"). That will disable postprocessing, which won't perform well on mobile anyways.

I finally got the example running. I had to do go through more errors.

In the end I had to call a few more functions:

dream.renderSet:setMode("direct")
dream.mirrorSet:setMode("direct")
dream:setSkyReflectionFormat(256, "normal", false)

The last one was coming from line 74 in 3DreamEngine/jobs/sunShadow.lua where format is specified as:

format = light.shadow.dynamic and "rg16f" or "r16f"

I tried disabling the shadow's dynamic at first sun.shadow:setDynamic(false) but both of those formats are unsupported and there's no way to change that from the public API so I had to patch that line to specify format = "normal"

Then it finally ran, I also added a simple FPS display and I see that I'm getting around 22 FPS but for this particular example it's smooth.

Overall my conclusion is that this probably needs a lot of work to be mobile-ready, specially since that canvas format thing is spread all over the code, and then I'm not sure what the performance will be like for real projects.
