Would you LIKE to have Blckland as an app for iPod/Iphone despite any lag problems?

Ya sure.
No.
I don't got an iPod/iPhone :\

This is impossible.

Theres a difference between "impossible" and "it's not going to happen anytime soon".

hehe, i voted the only one for i don't have an iphone :D
although i have an ipod i never used, i think when my mom got it for me for christmas, she was thinking of herself

Personally, I think it would be cool to have something like a .bls reader.

I love the simple thinking of the OP. As if you can just flawlessly "convert the Blockland script" to make it run on the iPod Touch, and everything will just magically work. Because Blockland is just one big script. :cookieMonster:

Thats the way to think!!!  :cookie: <-- for you! :P

I have been actually researching into this.
It wouldn't be like fully Blockland itself, but a miniature build builder thing.
In theory, you would be able to construct the thing on the ipod touch and then save it, perhaps uploading it to a main server or something, and then use it in the full version of Blockland.
I am sure I could do at least the building part if Flash for the iphone actually happens (given a rather long time frame to work as well), but I would have no idea how to go about the saving of builds or, much less know of the connectivity to such an upload server.

(Also I have no idea how I would get the special shapes like trees and stuff to work)

Running this Blockland wouldn't work on a current iPhone, but perhaps a smaller Flash version?

well depending if it will look good :D  :cookieMonster:

what if all it could have was defaults? and the only map would be like slate and skylands and destruct?

IT FEELS LIKE IM ACTUALLY TOUCHING THAT BLOCK GUY WITH MY FINGER

Blockland isn't getting "ported" to Consoles like PS. NO loving way it will get on a little mobile screen, that only has one button and touch screen. This also goes into Suggestions & Request sheesh.

Just because your PC's off doesn't mean Badspots going to port blockland for you.

The iwhat now?

Maybe just convert the Forums to an app for iPod/iPhone

Pssssh. My Touch Pro had flash way before your silly little "Droid".

Also, there's just no way in hell Blockland for the iPod Touch/iPhone would work.
The controls would be god-awful (touchscreen), the only way to move would be to use the accelerometer (no), and...yeah. No.

The forums work just fine using Safari on the iPod Touch/iPhone. There's no need for an app.
