F*** the iPhone. HnH is Java and the iPhone don't do Java. Android, on the other hand, probably wouldn't take much adapting for.Hodoo wrote:There should definitely be a Haven & Hearth app for iPod/iPhone!

iPod does Java. 
Just gotta get it jailbroke. If Cloudbrowse can do it, so could H&H!

Re: iPod/iPhone App
The greatest problem with Android is that Dalvik seems to suck, though. Primarily, it still doesn't have a generational GC, and given that the Haven client isn't very sparse with memory allocation (it shouldn't have to be), one would probably suffer quite some GC lag. I hear they made the GC concurrent, at least, in Android 2.3, but I'm not sure how that affects performance more precisely, given that it's still just a mark-and-sweep collector. I also don't know how good its compiler is.MagicManICT wrote:Android, on the other hand, probably wouldn't take much adapting for.

Re: iPod/iPhone App
It should, my whole computer slows down noticeably (takes me like 15 seconds to alt-tab) when I run it along with Firefox with 3 tabs open and open the Ender's client folder. Multiclienting takes me back to the day of Windows '98 on my crappy Celeron. Yeah, I know, I should buy more RAM, but I don't have money for such luxuries atm.loftar wrote:Haven client isn't very sparse with memory allocation (it shouldn't have to be)

Might as well put a sign over their head that says "Target", then stand 50 tiles off and range them.brohammed wrote:Enjoy your tiny screen.

Re: iPod/iPhone App
A full client on a phone might not work, but maybe there could be an app that would let you reload curiosities, for those of us obsessed with keeping the mentory full at all times.
