Toribash for different consoles and devices
Has anyone thought about making toribash compatible with android or tablets , or something like that?
And im not just talking about Minibash But the actual toribash in mobile devices, as in like someone is playing on pc but there is other guy playing on his phone or tablet.
So has anyone thought about it, is it possible'?

Who said there had to be a few seconds to make a move? And who said there would be no option to zoom in to press joints quicker. Also: Chat commands could be like bubble chat so you just select a word to say and these can be things like: Gg, Nice, No!, Yes!, Fail, Ha, You Suck, You're Good etc...
Kradel. Its just too small for a 4-5 inch screen. If it were on an ipad or tablet, it would be a different story and most likely discuss-able. But in no way can you fully put something as complicated as Toribash into a tiny mobile phone.
With quick preselected chats, it sucks because people like me generally go on toribash to also talk with the community and friends. The community is a big aspect and taking the ability to access it away would destroy some core aspects of toribash.
Zooming? Only way you could do that is by pinching and pulling, and that takes up time. Not to mention if you are going to select minor joints like the neck and wrists, which would most likely be very small on a phone. You would need to have the camera focus on other parts of the body, and how complicated would that be with just simple taps? You cant free roam with the camera, which would indefinetly be needing more buttons or ways to access it.
Sure there are MMO's on phones, and fighting games on phones, but you cant put the full Toribash experience on a phone, it just cant work due to the size. Like I said before, tablets are discussable though, so you can try working on that.
..
Oh I should probably mention that coding the game will also take a ton of time and error with the operating sytems, Android, Windows, Apple IOS, and Firefox/Ubuntu in the near future. These are all operating systems made for phones, and that means it works a lot differently in some ways. Overall even if it were to be made, it would be a total "bitch" to program.

You should know that these games work a lot differently from toribash, in a ton of ways that range from coding, graphics, to controls. Just because it might run on a phone, doesnt mean its going to work very well on one.

But the feeling and experience wouldn't be the same. It just wouldn't feel right. But that's what people thought about minecraft becoming a mobile game and it actualy felt good and was fun to play.. So why not? I support this I guess
