BYOND for Android

Hello BYOND!
I am currently planning on finishing my first game but I really wanted to bring it to Android...

I know BYOND can't be converted to Apk... But there is still a way.
If I can convert .dmb to .exe I can then use (www.joiplay.net) to turn the Exe into an Apk.

I read somewhere in the forums BYOND used to have a way to convert .dmb to .exe
But I don't know how to do it.

I have 2 questions:

1. How can I export to .Eze
2. I know the touchscreen of the android won't work with the stats menu but it should work with the map panel correct?
I was thinking of making Click() verbs for gameplay on android.

I guess 3 is is this possible?

For others that see this post in the future...
ByondExe is a program for doing this but you need to get approval first (https://www.byond.com/forum/post/2870874)

I will ask approval once it is ready...

 
Question 2 is, would a Click() verb work on the Map Panel as a Screen Touch?

Ter13	It's not that simple. Even if you package a BYOND game as an APK, BYOND can't run on android. Joiplay doesn't emulate the windows OS, so it won't work If your monetization strategy requires mobile or browser-no-install audiences, BYOND is a waste of your time to even consider. Full stop. No shade at the engine. That's just reality.
