Playing Blockland on a Tablet

[Georges]

Got my Surface 3 today, and I was hoping it could handle Blockland, and it does without shaders just fine.

I can now play Blockland on a tablet! :D

He can connect a mouse to the tablet. So I believe yes.

Yeah, this. All I can do without those is awkwardly look around. I tested it with shaders off on the Battlemix server and it was averaging over 50 FPS so that's awesome.

now how good were you at playing battlemix

[Afraidanna]

I'm definitely trying this tomorrow

decent once I connected our unused bluetooth apple keyboard and mouse.

Do you have a Surface?

not really any reason a modern tablet couldn't run Blockland since they're basically just smaller laptops at this point
i don't see it being anything more than "wow cool" though

No last time my brother brought his desktop so me and our friend could work on a project. Mine was too big to bring, so i only had my phone for a few hours.

Special case scenario, it's almost never like that.

So how do controls work with a touch screen?
I'm curious.

yes.

It basically doesn't. I'd still need a keyboard and mouse to actually play.

You can kind of look around, but it's very awkward and doesn't work well.
