Hey guys,
I have recently started building an iPhone/iPod app for CC. Version 1 can be downloaded from
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/conquer- ... 37999?mt=8 . This is a simple app that saves your login details, and displays your current games which can then be accessed in-app.
I have plans to enhance the game playing experience for version 2. A few features I have been thinking about adding to the game play:
Adding a 'big red button' to initiate an assault instead of having to click those small boxes.
Adding an overlay view which will display details of selected territories, amount of troops to reinforce/assault, etc.
Adding a pull down menu which will display a list of player stats that can be retractable to display more of the game view.
I'll need to do something with the map but I think this is going to be my biggest problem. Considering most of the maps are quite large (and all different sizes!) I think zooming is still going to be a necessity on a small handheld device. Although I would like to make it so you're not constantly zooming all over the map all of the time. Any suggestions?
Let me know what you think of the app and if you have any suggestions as to what can go into future versions. Hopefully I will have access to the info required to add all the features we need to make this a quality app!
If you can let others know, and spread the word around about it (and rate it on the app store!) we can get more ideas and feedback rolling which would be great for the app.
Cheers,
Peter
