Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup iOS Webtiles wrapper

Summary

This project aims to make DCSS webtiles a joy to play on any iOS device without an external keyboard. Works best in iPad devices.

The webtiles UI has a few problems:

• No way to bring up a system keyboard forcing the use of an external keyboard
• Hard to play without access to normal keyboard keys like: arrow keys, return, escape, etc.
• Some automatic web browser behaviors (e.g. auto magnification of text boxes) make things clunky

How to play

• Launch the app
• Select your webtiles server (swipe on a row on iOS 15 to set it as default)
• Login to your webtiles account
• Use the built in bar at the bottom to send key commands to the game
• Long press any command to repeatedly send it to the game
• Swipe up on the bar to access a secondary set of commands

Built in commands

• Shortcuts for auto-explore, auto-combat, rest
• Arrow keys (nw, ne, se, sw directions are part of the secondary commands)
• Escape key
• Bring up and enter commands using any iOS Keyboard
• Find an item
