Universal Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (by Dancing Bottle)

Why didn't I ever think to do this? Thx for the tip!

If I can pry myself away from CDDA, I'll try it

 

Brogue had one of the nicest touch controls due to its simplicity yet complex in some way or another, such a great dungeon rogue-like to play

 

Sorry for the double post,
But shucks! Your right! Keyboard runs even smoother than before and the cons are very minor!

In my opinion, since I use Chesthole40, the words are hard to decipher and are very ugly to look at.

 

I've put the images of D-Pad, Confirm/Cancel and the Tab buttons at http://www.dancingbottle.com/UI.zip. They are transparent PNGs of the @2x version.

 

They look nice. What we need is the ability to drag them to custom locations in the in-game UI.

Btw, the game looks and plays great with fullscreen off and a much bigger terminal size set in the options. Looks nearly like my desktop version now

 

These setups are all for iPad a presume.

Has anyone found a good one for iPhone 6+?
It seems quite difficult to get a good balance.

So far I have
Full screen off
Terminal width 120
Terminate height 35
Retroasc40

But I really wish there was a retroasc35 as 40 is a bit too zoomed and 30 is a bit too small. I've tried a few other tile sets without much luck either. Sucks. I can't quite get the right field of view for 6+. Anyone with better luck?

 

Talbs, try your same setup, but zoom out once. Might be helpful, since you're still using the tiles.

 

Thanks. I was just starting to experiment with that. Thing is, zooming out on my new setting is then almost too small.
But I generally agree that the approach is probably something like settling on a view that allows decent visibility while zoomed in, and can still make sense of tiles when zoomed out.

For that Ive been experimenting and I think having a setting of between the default and up to the one I posted above. You then have to just zoom in and out to check your environment now and then. Fiddly, but at least we have this on out phones.

 

Anybody know a setup for iPhone 5C? Right now I'm currently running the game with fullscreen off and default terminal settings and using the Chesthole64 tileset.

 

i not really sure how to melee,i press F and it only work on firearms.and i can't smack zombie with S key

 

You quite literally just walk into the tile that the enemy is in. You automatically attack it with whatever you're wielding

 

I'm kinda hoping someone puts up a vid for new players specifically using iOS to play on. It would seem some are in need.

The sooner we can educate, the more popular roguelikes on iOS become! Hopefully in time we can get a port of DCSS

 

So there is no way to get rid of this disappearing keyboard thingie?Nvm,JUST CHECK PAGE NUMBER 4 OF THIS THREAD.

 

To save everyone the irritation of having to reinstall it 20 times like I did, the maximum terminal size I've managed with a retina screened iPad is 170x75.

Anything larger locks CDDA up before it can display the main menu screen. 170x75 is quite playable with tiles turned off if you get close enough to the screen. It's quite a bit more playable with 40pt tiles enabled and zoomed out once.

YMMV, but there it is. Experiments over, now I'm off to die horribly

Zen mode, if you're able to send in a screeny of your 6 with retro20 that would be great. For me on 6+ and retro 20 it's redic small

 

Here's my 6+, everything back in stock and retroascii20 tileset. I guess it's not too small to make out what's on screen?

Man, finding the right setting is frustrating. Don't think its quite achievable. I must've spent 1.5hours on this alone (with all the setting changes and restarts required.
