The answer to that is a qualified yes. The app currently sports 2
modes: a text-only console complete with editors, input log, etc. and
a JHS mode which I am currently trying to coerce some graphics out of.
I foresee 2 approaches to leveraging this package as as platform:
developing GL or taming JHS to the point of developing usable
j-oriented widgets
exposing the J engine as a service that android developers can use
to embed J in their accustomed environments,
The latter of the two is the easiest to achieve and only begs a couple
dozen hours to implement once the base package is stabilized. There
is nothing preventing the first option from happening except for a
considerable amount of work. Embedded GL2 is supported by android but
I have not even begun to look at what all might be involved..
