Uptake on iPad versus PC? Scenario editor for iPad?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Out of curiosity, do you guys know the uptake/playtime of iPad users versus PC/Mac ones? How hard would it be to create a scenario editor for the iPad? I promise to write a Pearl Harbour scenario if... :mrgreen:

We don't really have the numbers on play time for any of the versions. It's an interesting idea - kind of like /played on WoW. Could be kinda scary for some of our players though :).

I've been toying with the editor on the iPad, but it has to take a back seat to some of the more game-focused upgrades. Only a minority would make use of it. It's also not really practical to do scripting on the iPad so the full power of the modding wouldn't really be available. On the other hand, it could be cool to allow people to create their own maps. And I was considering using the Dropbox SDK to allow for uploading/sharing them with people.

So I have my thinking cap on about it, but it won't be something that happens in the near future.

Cheers

Pip
