Title: Isotropic on iPad
Post by: Maxwell on November 20, 2011, 10:23:41 am

Hi, I regularly use my iPad to play on Isotropic. This works perfectly except for one detail. Reorganizing cards after playing deck inspection cards isn't possible bc there is no mouse. I hope to see an alternative card sorting mechanism that would make this possible.

Thanks for the great work. I really love Isotropic. I first played the board game a few was ago and loved it. Found isotropic soon after. So Donald X, thanks to Isotropic I will surely buy all the expansions in the coming months!

Here's a game where not being able to sort my deck got me in big trouble. See my turn 13 and the second to last apothecary I play that turn.

I can comment.  I have no involvement in isotropic and have no credibility, but this is what I've heard.

Q: Why isn't the guy who made isotropic making the commercial version?
A: He didn't want the job and in any case wasn't going to be doing versions for more platforms
(From this thread here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=175.msg2386#msg2386 (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=175.msg2386#msg2386))

So I'd guess he's not interested in ipad support, and you're out of luck until the official version is released.

Are you using an iPad 2? On my iPad 1 I always eventually get disconnected from the server. My Isotropic rating actually took a hit from that, with all the forfeits.

I use an iPad 1 to play quite frequently, and I haven't gotten disconnected. At least not in a long time. A while back I would lose connection from time to time, but just refreshing the page always seemed to fix it just fine. Have you upgraded to iOS 5? The interface, and disconnects, improved a bit after that.
