Site Compatibility

Postby MrPenguin589 » Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:17 am

Let me start off by saying that I do not know how difficult this would be to do, or even if it is any realm of possibility, but
what I would like to see is having an option for the site to be Palm Pilot and Smart Phone compatible, as I myself recently upgraded from a Zire 31 Palm Pilot to a Palm TX handheld with wireless capabilities (which I am using right now), and I believe I've heard someone else on here mention that they play on their BlackBerry sometimes. So, just having an option in the main site to be compatible with these devices. Right now, the game is difficult (but not impossible) to play. My main problem is with the buttons. Instead of lining up horizantaly, making it hard to determine which button goes to which project (or person). Again, I don't know if this is at all possible, but any reply to this would be greatly appreciated.

I've played Cantr on the PSP once, but gave up because it is far too difficult to type anything

Hrmm, you know, I don't think many people here would have PDA's to access Cantr, or, let me rephrase, access Cantr on their PDA's. It is a convenience issue, however much I'd like to see Cantr be suitable for everyone's needs, it is unnecessary. :oops:

If you are now saying, Alwitch is a, you know, well look at it this way.

If this was a community with five or six people, no one would think twice about implementing it, as ... '20% of players agree that they need it', lol.

However, this is a community of 5,000, and you MIGHT be the only one using a PDA, hence only one person would access the feature, you see my point of view? It would be rarely used for so much effort!! XD XD :D

I don't mean to lower your chances of having this implemented, MrPengiun, just hoping to open your eyes and create a little discussion! :D :) :D

Lynx should run on a palm pilot?

It's a console-based text only browser, which Cantr works with fairly well. (although you don't get the pretty pictures and it's not green...)

Actually, good point, that's what my friend uses, I should have suggested that. XD

I see. Where can I download Lynx?
Or do I have to buy it? :?

There are <b>MANY</b> distrobutions of linux. Ubuntu is a good free one (I think)

Lynx != Linux. They're often found together, but one is a Web browser and the other is an operating system.

One way to put Lynx on a Palm would indeed be to install Linux - there are distributions of Linux that will work on a Palm (Ubuntu is not one, though). But I don't think most Palm users are willing to switch to Linux just for a text-mode browser.

I've browsed cantr with lynx before once.

Tried to make a seperate linux partition but botched it and had to use my install cd to find a solution to my problem.

It isn't that hard. (Atleast with a keyboard. I don't know how hard a touch pad would be.)
