Oh, it is grayed out xD

Yeah, but it should be cool,eventually with community levels and community highscores...

alexgt · July 23, 2015, 02:40:50 PM

That would be awesome, I wonder if I could play it on my mom's tablet since it has a keyboard with arrows on it...

Unicorn · July 23, 2015, 02:43:12 PM

Well, he doesn't turn off the game if you are on a mobile device... you should try!

alexgt · July 23, 2015, 02:50:25 PM

It works!!! I think the clock runs a little fast because I usually get througt the tutorial in ~1:30 and I got throught at 3:00 xD
And the speed isn't that bad at all.

Awesome! I know on this one computer I played it on, it went super-fast and it wasn't' even winnable

alexgt · July 23, 2015, 03:04:02 PM

Lol, I think that @ben_g needs to keep the speed in check somehow

WAITth metions work on my mom's tablet

I wonder if they are fixed!!!!!

Unicorn · July 23, 2015, 08:37:29 PM

Oh yeah, there was permissions error. I can do it now to @alexgt

alexgt · July 23, 2015, 09:12:23 PM

Oh, glad it was fixed xD

Unicorn · July 24, 2015, 12:21:41 AM

I think that'll happen:

I'm working on it. I was at a scouts camp this week, so there was no progress during that time. It may take a while though.

The clock should be more or less accurate, since it's based on the system time, not calculated by counting frames. The speed of the game itself can indeed vary though, since it assumes that the screen updates at 60fps. I will fix this when I'm doing the fine tuning at the end of the public beta.

BTW: as you guys mentioned, the game does run on many mobile devices, though it's usually not playable because there often is no keyboard. I'm planning to add on-screen buttons to allow the game to be played trough a touchscreen. I don't know when that will happen though, since it's rather hard for me to debug since I don't own a smartphone.

Nice, I'm still getting around to playing it but that would make me play it sooner.

Yeah I noticed that it worked on mobile, like Lexaloffle's PICO-8 but then I went like "oh wait! How am I supposed to play with no keyboard? XD

Is there a way in games to make the virtual keypad appear on mobile devices? That would not solve the lack of arrows problem, though.

As for game speed, make sure that it's capped, even if it runs a bit slower on older computers and devices. If it's entirely dependent on computer speed and the speed is not capped, then the game will be completely unplayable on computers released in 2021 or later.

Unicorn · July 26, 2015, 04:42:48 AM

Great! I'm looking forward to making levels! A smartphone version would also be nice

In the science museum of Paris there was an info PC which read "Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue"
