Yes, this has been brought up a lot. Basically, I don't really have the resources to make true, platform-specific native apps, but I'm willing to work at making the game work on mobile browsers (there are currently some workshop options to help with this).

Considering the focus of our current markets, which are pushing the smart phone/tablet genre into our hands, I think it would a good idea to spend a little time in engineering the site to be more "mobile" friendlier, or at least better on smaller screen.

You're right, I should probably prioritize mobile more.

if there was a app for bots4 on ipad. i would then think about buying a apple product..

Apps require a lot of work. He'd have to build one for each platform and also maintain it for each platform as well. I think a mobile version would be better suited for Ender as it wouldn't require a lot of "extra" work on his part to maintain.

The only thing I have problems with on my phone is when writing messages (forum/bmail). When I write in the box I can't scroll down out of the box (when zoomed in) to reach that preview button, I can move the screen to see it but once I let go it snaps back to the text box. I can zoom out to be able to see it, or if i have the keyboard slid out I can also retract it and then scroll down the page trying not to click on the text box.

I hate constantly having to zoom in after/during every fight in order to be able to click the appropriate link once the train/fight ends.

I think a mobile version would be better suited for Ender as it wouldn't require a lot of "extra" work on his part to maintain.

Plus it would be useful for teeny tiny browser windows. \o/

Nos, I don't really mind it, if you have the phone set to zoom by default you have to move the page around anyways. And making the train/fight links big enough to click with thumbtips would look inappropriate for browser use :/ Ugly.

im playing bots mostly on phone (reading forums and everything else also) and it works great since ender changed the logo from deadmasters to the current. Last logo forced the header to be in 2 rows, while now its in one row and with zoom setting FAR and text setting LARGE on fight page i just about see all 3 links on my HTC with android.

showroom works when i disable scrollbars (it just displays all items without "box") and thats about it. i dont think you need app for bots...its browser based game and all new phones got browsers in it, so wheres the problem :)

I think there is a way of creating a separate "main" page that would be more accessible to smaller windows and wouldn't require a lot of extra work, thus alleviating all of the issues. A mobile version of the site if you will. Of course if that requires redoing all of the pages to suite smaller window needs then I'm against that, but I think there is a way that would allow only the requirement of needing a "mobile" version main page.
