Tip for iPhone servers:

MattKan · #1 02-06-2011, 03:25 AM

Doing this may only benefit me, but alas I want it so I'm going to ask for it.

So I hooked a wireless/bluetooth keyboard for my iTouch so I could type easier on it. And I decided to play Graal iPhone on it. However, I was disapointed to find that I couldn't use the arrow keys to move and I couldn't use tab to type (and I couldn't use F8 to server warp

).

So my request for you is to enable chatting with tab and arrow keys to move so that I can prop up my iTouch and just use the keyboard to control it.

That would be all.

Yes could be interesting, also for playing on iPad

This would also theoretically enable balance between iPhone and PC players if you were to actually allow PC and iPhone to mingle together.

Good idea, but unfair advantage.

How? If they both can use the keyboard for more fair movement and fighting, which was one of the main problems other then bull**** lag... How's it unfair.

I think he meant it would be unfair because some players would play with the keyboard and would have an advantage on those who aren't.

Yeah, I have an iPad and I could prop it up and essentially play as if I was using a computer, I'd play the iPhone servers a lot more then

i suppose it's a matter of not everyone having/being able to afford a compatible keyboard...although tbh if you have an iDevice you can probably afford it.

If you got welfare, you can get it.

I bet it'd be hard to count the number of Graalians on welfare

I think you'd lose that bet.

I don't understand why this is a big deal, if the keyboard exists (which obviously it does) then why not allow the extra feature? The iPad already has an unfair advantage to begin with cause it has a bigger screen and can see a lot more than what I can on my iTouch. Hope this works out. btw great idea, Matt!

MattKan · #14 02-21-2011, 04:28 AM

See? Everything is in order except I can't use the Graal App without touching the screen

If you could use a keyboard and gain an unfair advantage, why not just open it up to PC users? It'd be the same thing.
