A Javascript game - or application - is already running in the device. Converting it to an actual Android App is not a structural change. (Don't know about conversion to an iOS app.) Converting a server-based application to an Android app, however, is a serious structural change. And you may still end up with an app that communicates with a server. (And probably even more difficult to do for iOS.) A more realistic approach would likely be converting just the web-based UI to an Android (or iOS) app. Also, I've heard that there are apps that, supposedly, just pass an URL to the web browser. I haven't tried. So far, the only Android app I've "created" was the result of following a tutorial and adding/modifying some features. Curiosity satisfied, I've not had a reason to do more. I'd much rather use Perl. Then, if I need to use it on my tablet, put a web interface on it. If some one else needs to use it from their tablet or smart phone, they will, despite the lack of an app.
