I wish there was DF for the iPad. Believe it or not it would work control wise. |

DF is ridiculously intensive on your processor, the ipads processor is stuff by normal PC standards 5 years ago. To be expected from a handheld device anyway. But it wouldn't work. |

And there is no using the GPU for anything besides rendering ASCII (btw the gpu is integrated on the processor). The ipads processor is stuff. It's on par with some android cell phones, and that's not an exaggeration. Dwarf fortress makes modern gaming PCs struggle, easily. I'm sure it's going to run just fine on a cell phone. |
