so im finally getting the hang of things and making bits of progress on my creations. but i do know my main goal is based on releasing to android once im finished. what i was wondering is, can i wait until im done then try to port to android?, or would it be easier to go ahead and build it with that already there?.since i know theres not much documentation on doing such i kind of wanted to save it for last. but not if it would be easier to go ahead and work with android stuff already in my code.

Development is way easier when you have a version that also runs on PC. So doing that first is imho a good approach. But be careful with stuff like GUI (buttons needs be to huge and you don't have much screen space on many Android devices) and the differences in input (mouse just works different than touch).
