Nation Wars Mobile

[Mr President]

I originally had it set so anyone with a mobile or pad device automatically went to the Mobil login page but I figured we would try it this way first. I still have work to do on the login page. Plus I have to add nation wars to mobile version in game. Nothing big, just our name.

It needs a few tweaks but all in all its not bad. Def something to build on. Plus, this gets us a step closer to an app. :-)

[Mr President]

By the way - the forums have been setup for mobile for awhile now.you downloaded and paid for an app for the forums.

no need for an "app" IMO. a mobile version works just as good and infact may be more flexible and easier to code and tweek. The Maryland Dept of Natural Resources is doing it just like you are, and it work really well.I think we can just work on streamlining the game mechanics a bit (with out dumbing down) andthats about all I could ever ask for.the twitter "app" for the kindle fire, and other tablets/phones is just their mobile version. Lets test and tweek, and we SHOULD be able to list in the google play store as an app. look into that (regardless if its an "app" or not)

btw lets not work on inviting old heads back for now either... lets focus on new blood. the membership is small now, so we cant bully new people quite like we used too.

[MAGGIO]

your right log in page needs to be HUGE on the mobile version but your working on it. this is really exciting for me, and I hope it works out for all of us.

now that we have mobile what should we do to push communication?- have PMs fwd texts to phones- have emails alerts sent when pms are sent- promote a specific compnay like skype or gchat etc.. as the "official communication service"for me texting works the best, but im sure everyone is different. old MSN chats are something of the past IMO.

just tested it on pad and Phone, it works great. Every new page that is loaded is too large for my adroid Phone (pad is fine) but one tap fixes it.

Just to build on what you said:

I think the reason an app would be good for us is marketing: If you had a free N-W app on a list with other apps people might be inclined to try it. BlackBerry accomplishes this by having "apps" that are really just shortcuts to a mobile version of the website. (That's all our app would need to be.) If all we have is a mobile site it's harder to generate traffic unless someone is doing a google search or is already playing the regular version.

Additionally, and this might not fit N-W in it's present form, many developers have their games on multiple flash game websites such as Kongergate, Armor Games and Addicting Games. I suppose we would have to create a flash version of the game for that type of setup but but it would generate traffic. (Perhaps a Flash Version of N-W will become a reality many years in the future?)

I just happened to notice that if you are not using the default theme (new theme) and you use the mobile version it doesn't convert over. This is due to me only converting the new theme for mobile.

I will write a temp script that automatically changes your theme to the correct one when you use the mobile Version. Once all the themes have been converted then this won't be an issue. I'll try to get the script done later tonight/tomorrow.

Any feed back? Do you guys like it? Calvin would love the stripped down version. He couldn't stand the graphics .

so glad i finally got someone to understand me
