P.S. I want to thank all the people working on the dfhack core - digging deeper into df/dfhack internals I was amazed how huge is the work that has been done to describe df data structures, create a very good lua bridge and everything else.

Oh. My. Armok....

Surely i must make new tileset to match iOS style

P.S. It's web interface, right?

P.S. It's web interface, right?

No, fully native, for the best possible experience.

In 'dwarf fortress for the blind' thread I promised my new project would help there as well. Indeed, utilising the protocol this is based on (once it's finished) it will be possible to create any custom interfaces - web, for the blind, whatever.

First, well damn, that's impressive as hell man.

Second, mmmm, once an ios port has been done, how hard are other mobile ports? Is this purely something which would work on ios or would it be doable on android as well using a similar method but pulling in from the linux version maybe?

"What's the big deal? It's just random til-"

How finished is this, when will it be available, and how well does it run?
Seriously, mifki, you are a wizard.

[Nopenope]

Whoa. This is really, really, really impressive.

Whoa.

Now that the awe has subsided, would you be so kind as to explain what you exactly did? Did you actually port DF to iOS or is it an iOS app that communicates to a remote server? You're talking about a protocol; what do you mean? And of course as Max™ said, is there any chance this could be adapted to other operating systems?

[CautionToTheWind]

This is great. Maybe you could externalise the code that connects your interface to DF into a library?

Because I honestly think mobile is the least of it. A full interface rewrite for desktop computers would be a wonderful wonderful thing, which we won't get otherwise.

[Nopenope]

Yeah this would be akin to the famously wanted "external API" which has been the subject of many a controversy on the suggestions forums.

[Devstorm]

Will you be able to put this on android? It's super-awesome, to whatever use it gets put, but I'd love it on my tablet.

[Gerund]

Well this is pretty neato
Can we get any more details about the protocol. specifically? If it's reasonably renderer-independent it could probably be pretty useful for building the fabled multiplayer-df. Even if it isn't it I'm sure I could poach all sorts of bits and pieces for Webfort.

[perkel]

Does that mean that now people will have option to completely build external epplication and use DF only as simulation engine ?

Either way that is fantastic. Truly amazing thing

[Kirkegaard]

Does this mean that the UI can now be optimized a bit?

[Qmarx]

r u a witch???

[Sergarr]

are you a wizard
