TMW on Ipod Touch (I know there's a post for this)

Post by noelleionscowl »

If anyone would like to help me raise money, I'll go onto Rent-A-Coder and have them program TMW onto the iPod Touch. However, it would have to be jailbroken in one of two ways:
1. It would be available via a cydia repo.
2. You would need AppSync if it were a .ipa file.

Of course. How else?

It will hopefully have widescreen, and portrait is available.

Prepare to raise some ten thousand dollars, unless you run a Linux on your Apple device which provides all the necesary libraries. Otherwise you would have to re-program everything from scratch.

edit: If you want to make it run on jailbroken Apple devices you have to go for a rewrite anyways, so why not spend additional 100 bucks to buy a official Apple developer license/SDK/whatever, I can't imagine a reason why Apple would decline TMW on the app store. Well, if you thought you don't want to spend as much as 100 dollars good luck finding a developer williing to port/rewrite TMW. :lol:

If you want mobile TMW, buy an OpenPandora console, seems someone ported it already:

You do realize that this is entirely compulsory, and that your input is welcome but does not require a lecture?

I have the materials here, and I have a way to get the porting done cheap.

Earn my respect and bring it on!

Actually learned/remembered that there is already a project called "Mana mobile" by the powers that be, so you may be able to use something off that.

(This project runs since over 5 months and is lead by the current lead developer of the Mana project, and it only is able to display a map. I wonder how you want to pull this off cheap.)
