java script error.
I don't understand anything at all. I just want to debug the program. why do I have to compile to some server every time and only then download it from somewhere to check. I just want to save it in a folder on my computer.
unclear. I want to know how I can compile to a folder on my computer so that I can just transfer it to android via the communicator. I have no idea how to set up hosting. I don't have enough skills.
why can't I compile for android on pc?

I studied the errors and came to the conclusion that something is missing. Maybe you need some java scripts?

Do I need to download android studio?

If you just want to test your app on your Android device, install the "AppGameKit Player" from Google Play (free) on your Android device. Run it and it will listen for a broadcast from your PC, so they must both be on the same WiFi network. Next click "Broadcast" from AppGameKit on your PC. It will beam your app over to the player on your Android device and it will run inside the player.

If you want to actually build a stand-alone Android app to install on your Android device then you must have the Java Development Kit (JDK is also free) installed on your PC (not JavaScript - that is a completely different thing). Then you can choose "Export Android APK" and fill in the relevant boxes. For testing you just need an App name (e,g, "My Test App"), a package name (e.g. "com.mydomain.myapp"), and give it a file name in the "Output File Location" ending in ".apk".

Just a note - for the package name you don't need to actually own the domain at this point. If you don't own a domain then just make one up but make sure your package name is unique and cannot possibly exist already on your device.

Once you have successfully built your APK file you can copy it over to your Android device via a USB cable or I use Google Drive. The first time you try to install an APK file that hasn't come from Google Play it will tell you that you need to change a setting to allow unsigned apps to be installed. Once you have done that, you should have your app installed and ready to run.

Thanks, because I was already thinking of downloading everything from the Internet like a vacuum cleaner. He helped me out.

Hi, it's me again. Someone can help with advice. Where to install and how to install this java kit? I've already thrown all the app game kit folders with this program. And the compiler still hasn't worked. What should I do?

error.
I figured out the installation, but now there is a new problem. I can't complete the final file. The program cannot add media files.

People, I have learned the sad news. My phone doesn't understand the x format model. I was still able to compile the game for android. I have removed all files in wave and mp3 from the folders. Everything worked out. Now we have to redo all the plans. Now I know that not all phones can use 3D models. Although there are no problems with the primitive shapes that the game creates.
