Noggit for iPad

[schlumpf]

I guess, its time for something new and innovative and great. Something nobody would have expected.

I have started bringing Noggit on the iPad, and maybe later other iOS devices. But as of the limited display size, I guess, its probably worthless on an iPhone, which is why I started for the iPad first.

I don't have an ETA yet, as its quite some work, porting it. But as of now, I already have basic animation rendering and am able to paint the basic UI. The menu is working therefore.



I will try to get more features in as soon as possible. I am currently struggling with how to deal with movement. I guess I will do some first-person-like movement with two joysticks.

Another problem is adding and saving data to the application. I might provide some ability to not sync the full client onto the iPad as its quite big. As of now, this also needs extracted data and can't handle MPQs. For getting the data back from the iPad, there might be some special folder accessible from iTunes or a mail / ftp / webDAV interface.


For non-believers, that this is not on the iPad. Please excuse the bad quality as well.

I like cake.

P.S. Texturing with a pen = WIN

But you realize, the iPad has touch support for fingers, not pens, right?

But you realise you can get a stylus for the iPad, right?

But you realize that you can just get a wacom for your windows PC then, right?

I never argued that, but the fact is that, if you continue with this, noggit will no longer be maintained on the PC. So.. an iPad stylus sounds a lot better than a wacom tablet right about now, doesn't it?

Well.. yeah, might be. Still, WoWEdit uses Wacom Tablets. And has live-preview in WoW itself.

Make wowedit with live previews, or go away.. Home

On to the next step. Rendering terrain. For starters only QA_DVD.

Waste of time to be honest. And totaly agree with MadameGrip (along with almost everything else), LiveUpdate and a WowEdit like software would be truly epic.

Well, yes. I agree on that one too.
Thank MadameGrip for getting me to discontinue Noggit for PC.

I usually don't get mad, but MadameGrip stop this riddicoulus shitning, there's no room for it here or we loose valueable work such as noggit.

I'm not a huge fan of Apple products, but this does seem pretty cool. There's just something about shaping a world with your hands that instills a sense of godlike power.
