Yeah that’s another reason why an Android version would be great - more choice of screen size. If Apple had a device which was somewhere between an iPhone 6S and an iPad Mini in size then that would be perfect. Ah well, think I’ll stick with going for an iPad Mini for now and wait/hope for Android in the future.

[quote=“WIndburns, post:79, topic:10551”]The only explanation I could come up with, is the internal damage to my iPad from dropping it without a protective case.

ianpwilliams:

Strange that it’s slow, when someone else seems to be running it fine on iPad Mini 2. Could it be your iPad? I’m going for a preowned Mini 4 so hopefully that’ll be fast enough. Maybe the game will become less processor-intensive as the updates come.[/quote]

Did you try playing with the settings? There are options like software mode, turning weather animations off etc which might a big difference in performance.

Haven’t, does your play run fine under default settings with your iPad?

ianpwilliams · 2016-02-15T16:42:27.000Z

Yes it does, although I bought a secondhand iPad Mini 4 in the end, which is quite powerful.

I would definitely try software mode (on PC software mode usually makes a big difference I’ve found), and turning off weather animations etc.

Question for the author - would it be possible to have the option of changing the size of the d pad and other controls (as far as I can tell this is not an option right now)? I find the d pad etc quite small, and with all that screen space it would be great to have the option to make them bigger. In fact you could even have the option to move the controls around as well, and have the option of moving the d pad next to the other controls in the bottom right corner so that you could do everything with one hand more easily.

Yes, I will add a feature to adjust UI’s position and size, as this feature is already implemented in my current working project. With some minor modifications it could be added in C:DDA iOS.

Besides, I am playing with the ReplayKit introduced in iOS 9 in my current working project. It is pretty fun because you can record your gameplay or Let’s Play right on your iPhone/iPad. So this will be added, too.

Finally, the auto-detection of BT keyboard will become an option, as some players reported problems about it.

Cheers.

Great stuff!

ianpwilliams · 2016-02-25T21:15:46.000Z

I’ve switched from the iPad to the plus size iphone now, and I think that is a great size for this game. And I certainly think that it would be great to be able to move the d pad to the right hand side, making things quicker control-wise.

Do you think it would be possible to have another zoom level on the iOS version? I’m using Mshock64 modded, but obviously the tiles will be small on any iPhone. An extra zoom level would reduce the FOV, but that wouldn’t matter so much when indoors.

fk1995 · 2016-03-05T19:15:10.000Z

Hi, I am wondering if there is any possibility to add controller support to iOS version?

syd430 · 2016-03-18T02:38:26.000Z

Is the update which will allow moving the dpad coming soon? I’d be happy to test if needed.

Two issues I found with the IOS Version:

External Keyboard detection is really, REALLY faulty. Despite the fact that I don’t use an external keyboard, it keeps detecting that I have one and disabling all the controls.

NPCs keep running away from me after I complete their quests. I kill a Zombie Mom or a Jabberwock and the NPC starts running away from me at full speed, forcing me to use the debug menu to teleport his ass to me.

Is this dead?

So has anyone an interest in porting to android? There is a linux version already…so it should be just a measure of touch screen options. Maybe allow keyboard and mouse only for large screens 10" plus?

It’s something I could take a look at (I’m a professional Android dev), but I can’t give any promises. It took me a few evenings just to get it compiling on Windows, no idea how hard it would be to get it compiled to run on an android device. Might give it a look when I get home tonight.

You sir would be a legend if you manage to get it working. It’s something that a lot of people have been requesting over time, there even was a short demo some years back, but nobody had the skills or interest to fully port it or continue that initial work.

I would love to be able to play this on my android phone!

I’m still playing. But it is still V1.12. Author got busy it seems. I saw on his site he was working on an IOS port of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup but I can’t find it in the app store. Give him time. I’m hoping for a refresh.

Well I have a few ideas for using the swipe motions for ease of access to menus. But I have a 10" tablet using Android 4.0.1(or was it v4.0.3…). Anyway, my point is you could require the user to have a USB keyboard and mouse(I have usb standard on my device) Then no one could complain about the controls.

-Pinch in or out for 1 zoom at a time.
-Make the bottom of the screen black showing relevant health and other info.
-Swipe from top to down = inventory
-Swipe left to right = Character information / skills etc
-Swipe right to left = Map
-Swipe bottom to top = Mini map?
-Optional semi-clear numeric keypad directional on either left or right screen.
-Optional USB numeric keypad?(i got one of those too, makes life tremendously easier to play)

I would be very keen on trying this on my android tablet, especially if you could work in chestholes tiles (even the low res ones of his) But no tiles? Not problem. It would kick the living(undead?) crap out of 99% of the trash on android if you got this game running.

…now the pisser of it is…finding a functional stable version =/
If you make it for my low version of android. I’d be happy since I can’t upgrade it =/

Redstonerobot11 · 2017-02-03T22:09:48.000Z

Is this port dead now? There hasn’t been an update in… some time. This was my favorite, so convenient to play this anywhere! Too bad…

a1studmuffin · 2017-02-04T12:50:18.000Z

In theory, once I’ve released the source code for the Android version, anyone could port that across to iOS (including me at a later date if I have the bandwidth). Might be a little while though…
