# Carmageddon Android Port: adapting Dethrace for ARM64 phones

> Carmageddon Android Port adapts the Dethrace engine reimplementation to Android ARM64 with a launcher, touch and controller input, and OpenGL ES rendering changes. It imports the user's Carmageddon or Splat Pack PC data and keeps their saves separate. The author reports an unresolved intermittent exit during a race.
