| Posted : Monday, 12 April 2010 - 13:24 I see no reason why the mobile game can't be the real deal... I wouldn't have delayed starting any campaigns while I went on holiday if I'd been able to play it from an iPhone...
Also, having the game usable from a mobile means you can take your turn any time of day when you have a few moments, on the bus, train canteen, bathroom...

| Posted : Monday, 12 April 2010 - 21:40 Make WOK for phones. It's a timely idea, but not, I think, something that time should be spent on for Waronline. |

| Posted : Tuesday, 13 April 2010 - 07:21 Either way, one nice feature that I've found on Uniwar and Weewar which I've been playing lately is the persistent chat. I can leave a chat message for a player and its still there when they log in. A cool way to leave each other msgs. |

| Posted : Tuesday, 13 April 2010 - 07:27 If you add players to your My Friends page, you can send them messages easily. Otherwise you can use the find player search. |

| Posted : Wednesday, 14 April 2010 - 08:52 Yeah I know, just not quite as convenient as coming back to the game window and seeing a message. This is also a pain when you are playing with someone and chatting, but as soon as they leave the game window to take a turn on another game you loose your chat. I find myself typing the same comment or question over and over in the chat window. |

| Posted : Friday, 16 April 2010 - 06:25 No it is just like the chat window that we currently have in the game window, it just maintains a history of the actual chat, so if I close the window and come back later the chat dialog remains. |

| Posted : Monday, 10 May 2010 - 23:38 well, i finally got an iPhone.
so I did some research and it turns out web-browsing on iPhone/iPad doesn't support any kind of embedded object (flash,silverlight,java,etc).
and developing full-blown apps (not web-based) requires the full SDK and is Mac only. Since I have x64 based PC, this rules me out.
so the only way to make WoL or WoK playable on iPhone/iPad is to remove all traces of Flash, and go with an HTML/Javascript/CSS system for the map system.
