RPG Codex - does not scale to your mobile?

[FeelTheRads]

Crap, well, I guess I underestimated the things people do/want to do with their phones.

To be honest though, that is as much Photoshop as a pager is a phone.

Yeah that's what I thought as well. Filters isn't quite what I had in mind when I thought of Photoshop. There is still the problem with the screen being too damn small if you're actually editing stuff ON the image, not to mention that I am almost certain* the screens are nowhere near good enough for things like color balance.

But at the speed things have been going... yeah I give it another few years. In the meantime, grandpa here will stick to a laptop.

(and to think I was the one making fun of the grandfathers who kept saying laptops would never be good enough as desktop replacements... it does seem so long ago now...)

* and I am bracing myself to be corrected by Lesi...

I actually don't like laptops. You still can't custom-build them to get them exactly the way you like ala desktops and they're just too heavy as well as too pricey. Netbooks? Shit piled on shit and still too expensive for what they are (or rather what they aren't), and trying to make them run full desktop OSes is a joke. Smartphones are approaching the point where they beat netbook specs anyway.

not to mention that I am almost certain* the screens are nowhere near good enough for things like color balance.

Many high-end smartphones use AMOLED/SAMOLED displays, the latest and greatest from Samsung. They display true blacks and very bright, sharp colors; hold one up next to an LCD monitor and you'll notice how washed-out the LCD looks. Color balance could be an issue if it's not calibrated properly, though, but provided that it is, it gives you pretty amazing pictures.

For crying out loud, why do you bother with Android, Symbian and other weird stuff? Is it to feel special? Just get an iPhone like the rest of the world and be done with it. I bet you're also one of those weirdos that plays PC games when everybody games on console. I just don't understand some people.

Hey guys, let's fuck off off Nokia and fuck on onto Codex for a change for it had worked just fine on my Nokia 5530 (no matter how crappy you think it is) before that sad attempt to scale to my level.

My Opera is absolutely capable of displaying any non-flash site providing the webmaster isn't pretending to be a smartass and doesn't force me to use a 'designed especially for my mobile' version of the goddammed page. Just give me the desktop version and I'll be doing fine, eh?

I know you codexians are probably Nokia haters and want to prove that my phone sucks at all cost, but imagine some claver guy one day would design flash only version of your favorite website just to show how big cocksucker your iPHONE is. I mean, just be nice.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah, think I might change tack and maybe try my hand at making an app.

Below is a list of items you’ll need (*starred items are required, the rest are nice-to-have’s):

• join the Apple iPhone Developer Program ($99) *
• get iPhone or iPod Touch *
• get an Intel-based Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5,
• prepare a Non-Disclosure Agreement (here’s a sample) *
• download and install the latest version of the iPhone SDK if you don’t already have it.
• a spiral bound notebook*

The fuck I need a spiral bound notebook for? Fuck that shit, if I can't do it with my whiteboard and regular pad than it's just not worth it.

RPGCodex Pearls of Wisdom app, maybe?

Could have it display a different and very wise quote from Codexers everyday or something.

I have an Android phone.

Its browser runs and displays Flash content flawlessly.

codex looks great on nokia e51 with 50% zoom

 

[BethesdaLove]

I HAVE A BIG PENIS!

 

[Lesifoere]

Things scale nicely now. Go go DU.

 

[Angthoron]

Yay, it scales beautifully now!

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah because I basically took it all out. You're now seeing default Codex with no attempt at mobile molestation.

 

[DriacKin]

You could just add a user option, or add a button somewhere to toggle between desktop and mobile mode.

 

[Ptosio]

Yeah, now it works flawlessly

It's kind of cool when you think about it: I'd entered the site, hated what I saw, bitched a bit and when I entered it the next day, it was fixed.

I mean, I would even consider feeling proud of myself. Bitching's good.
