How is it the android support? Do you need a rooted phone to run the app? Or can the app be distributed through play store like any normal app?

no no, it doesn't need a rooted phone. it's not that different from those android apps that use browser engines to draw uis, sometimes those are called webapps.
significant part of today's apps are actually written in java script and draw by using web engine and use libraries like react.
this zroject also uses browser to draw something. well there are not many surfaces you can draw on, one can be sdl, lagrange gemini browser uses sdl to draw once and sdl is available under major platforms so if the app draws via sdl, it can be available on these platforms.
you can draw by using opengl. that also would be crossplatform way.
🐙 norayr [OP] · Oct 01 at 18:11:
so i would prefer if this system would not depend on web engine but use some other way of drawing.
@norayr: Racket does it
wait, so you are saying that I could create an app with this and then put it in the google play store?
ah I see now that you need to use something like termux to install a repl in android and run it. It doesn't seem to support android, it supports Linux and android runs on Linux.
You can't distribute the app in the play store.
