I like how he tells us to think about it when he clearly has not.

It's a great idea to port DF to iPhone and upcoming iPad. Like NetHack and Settlers, DF would be great port and make many people happy. ))
First big reason to do this is iPhone 3Gs is most the most powerful PDA in the world!!!
Second big reason is money. Selling DF in AppStore will be good support for author. I will buy DF in AppStore for any money.
and last reason is easy update. ))

Thanks.

You necro'd a thread that hasn't had a response in a year and a half, and said it's an easy update??

DF is simply far to huge and ungainly for an I* app(*=pad/touch/phone/Whatever they have out now).

As I said in another topic though, I think porting only the arena mode to the I* would be a great idea.  It is awfully small compared to the full game and has relatively less keyboard requirements.  If someone got Toady's permission and did make an I* app then I would gladly fork over $5 for it (If most of the proceeds went to Toady that is).

what about a pregenned adventure mode?

[Atanamis]

I think we need to port it to a graphing calculator too, and make it a massively multiplayer calculator game! Plus, it should be fully voice controlled, and do my job for me while I'm playing. Toady can add microphones and wireless internet connectivity to my calculator, right? Plus it should have guns, and tanks, and spaceships!

Necro... "Search" is rules! 

As iPhone family device user and fan of DF game I think this's actual topic for now. Not for 1,5 year ago, but now! I like to play NetHack and Settlers on iPhone. So i want DF.
i.e. Settlers

Someone said that iPhone is crap... maybe, but who asks them to use it.

what about a pregenned adventure mode?

Ah, so basically an entirely new game?

[Grigorij.Gluhov]

I repeat what I said before.. iPhone 3Gs is most powerful PDA(iTouch) or Smartphone(iPhone) on this planet. It compared to IMac. Device with 150 000 apps for it. Many famous game conversions like NFS, Settlers, Nethack and etc. What can be strongest argument for porting DF to such device? Army of anything-instead-of-Apple users? ))

It compares to a 10 years old imac, not today's… 

[Grigorij.Gluhov]

Yes. iPhone isn't quad core. What about world colony size limitation?

How so?
Pregenned world, adventure mode only.
Or maybe legends as well.
Fortress mode would be too much.

[Grigorij.Gluhov]

I think DF mode too. Maybe world, area size and population limit will be solution! Anyway it will be good engine test app.

[penguinofhonor]

This is most definitely impossible. Maybe whatever version of the iPad we get in ten years. Though running DF on a computer and just doing things with it remotely is a feasible idea that's been thrown around about a thousand times. And Toady doesn't even need to write it.

Or maybe someone could make a decent telnet app (believe me, I've looked) and you could use that telnet DF someone's made.
