Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup iOS Webtiles wrapper

Summary

This project aims to make DCSS webtiles a joy to play on any iOS device without an external keyboard. Works best in iPad devices.

The webtiles UI has a few problems:

  • No way to bring up a system keyboard forcing the use of an external keyboard
  • Hard to play without access to normal keyboard keys like: arrow keys, return, escape, etc.
  • Some automatic web browser behaviors (e.g. auto magnification of text boxes) make things clunky

How to play

  • Launch the app
  • Login to your webtiles account
  • Use the built in bar at the bottom to send key commands to the game
  • Long press any command to repeatedly send it to the game
  • Swipe up on the bar to access a secondary set of commands

Built in commands

  • Shortcuts for auto-explore, auto-combat, rest
  • Arrow keys (nw, ne, se, sw directions are part of the secondary commands)
  • Escape key
  • Bring up and enter commands using any iOS Keyboard
  • Find an item
