I was planning to support iOS 7 but now when iOS 9 is out, there's even no iOS 7 simulator in latest dev tools, so I probably will support iOS 8-9 only unless I find an easy way to test it on iOS 7.

Please support 7. I really want to play it, and my phone can't run anything newer.

Sure. Testing and implementing last stuff that needs to be in the first release (justice screen at the moment). As planned, going to release this month, but App Store traditionally doesn't accept new apps and updates during Christmas period, so maybe it will be right after that.

Will it be free? Because as much as I love DF I physically cannot pay for it. I have no credit card and cannot rely on getting a gift card for xmas, much less an App Store/iTunes one

There be tilesets
raw changes are sent to server and applied in memory

Could the backend be used to speak to it from other interfaces too? Including, for example, a website with JavaScript? This would open the gate for a generally more user-friendly interface for Dwarf Fortress, playable in the browser.

Now I really, really want to run graphics packs through DFHack only, and avoid all of the incompatibilities and save issues that come with constantly changing the raws...

You know, I never really thought much about patching the in-memory raws with tileset information, but there is no reason why you can't...

The only possible problem would be if the game does not immediately reflect changes made this way, it would need testing.

If it worked then I could make a script to load tile settings from BAMM or Rubble tileset descriptions, which if paired with a plugin to refresh the render and reload the fonts, would allow live tileset switching in the base game.

As I remember, there is a difficulty with unloading old texture before loading a new tileset. Specifically, it's easy to delete entire texture, but then you need to reload creature graphics and that function isn't easily accessible. Of course it's doable, but raw patching isn't the most difficult part. I thought nobody done that mostly for other reasons like compatibility between dfhack/non-dfhack saves - being able to switch tilesets in-game and eliminate saves patching would be very cool.

Ah yes, and you either need to have a plugin that would reload tileset - it's not a problem, but if TWBT is used, then not that plugin but TWBT should do the reload to load its tilesets. Or it can be a TWBT-only feature but that's not very good. So there are things to discuss here.

Now I have a Node.js script to extract tile information from raws and a Lua script to apply it. I'll publish them soon.

Well, it's hard to believe you have an iPhone but no paid apps on it at all. But if it is so, I'll send you a code for the app.
No, others please don't ask.
