Games on ARC++

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

ARC++ enables Android games on Chromebooks and the claim is that many titles, especially Unity builds, are already 80–90% done for Chromebook support. Examples built and shipped include a typed roster search and battle keybindings for faster squad selection and combat, plus chat focus shortcuts — all of which increase engagement and revenue on Chromebook. Practical engineering notes: targetSdk≥24, add x86 and 64‑bit builds, remove GPS/NFC permissions, handle dynamic resizing or set resizableActivity=false, detect mouse/keyboard input, and use the Chrome OS emulator and Android profiler.
