Cantr Mobile?

Postby Agar » Fri Apr 18, 2008 12:25 am

While there are internet capable phones available, Nokia, Blackberry, and so forth, would there be any interest in either adapting cantr for WAP protocols or launching a cantr in WAP code? I like playing games on my phone, and I like not having paid $400 for my phone too.
Reality was never my strong point.

Even with internet capable phones, Cantr is slower than normally played, it makes you think it has horrible lag all the time, so you should only use it when you desperately need to.

I know because I tried it :roll:
with around 10 chars i took 1 hour just to check out what they were doing, something that would barely take 30 minutes in my computer

So unless you have an ultimate generation phone or a desperate need to play Cantr it is not advisable to play it on the phone

WAP is getting a bit out-of-date, no? The WML markup language for WAP is a real pain, and most new phones now work with HTML instead, to varying degrees of success.

If you're gonna access Cantr by phone - use the Opera Mobile version and have one which can access HTML.

Even then, I imagine like Trapacas said, it'll be painfully slow at the best of times.
