Shoddy Battle on mobile devices

[Pirika]

I asked this on Ask a simple question, get a simple answer but I get no answer. Is it possible to run Shoddy Battle on mobile devices like smartphones?

 

[Joatmon]

On regular cell phones, no, as they do not have Java script on them. Perhaps some modded iPhones or PSPs may be able to run it, but i do not think most current mobile devices can.

I'd love it if I could open a shoddy battle app on my phone and play on the go. But, this was discussed before and someone gave a complicated answer about why it technically couldn't be done.

[Pirika]

Even if I have a JVM in the smartphone or the PSP?

Didn't they say it would be just too laggy? <_<

If you do, experiment with it yourself.

Fuck yes, this would be extremely awesome. Too bad the DS/i can't run java.

shoddy battle iphone app would make a lot of money.. the licensing from nintendo would cost a lot though.

 

[bearzly]

I don't think that would go over so well with Nintendo

I'm pretty sure there's a way to put apps out for download on the internet, but I'm not sure, and that's if someone was up for making it in the first place @_@

I tried this on my Motorola Q a few months ago. I'll try it out on my blackberry tonight. I really doubt it would work though.

 

[Pirika]

I tested with JVM for PSP but it can only run .jar files(Shoddy Battle is JNLP). I think that for mobile devices is necessary to have a way to run Java Web Start.

 

[MegaBuddha]

It just says unable to read file on my BB Storm.. I tried every form of encoding on the phone to no avail!

 

[DJ Forte]

also metalkid's stuff would be nice on an iphone/touch.

 

[Dormin]

Is there a smartphone available with the ability to run java web start?

 

[GatitoNeku]

Maybe the developers should make a mobile edition(but in what file???)

 

[Pirika]

Smartphones usually only run .jar files but I don't know if is possible to make a mobile app for Shoddy Battle this way. I think when Android be released. People could try making a mobile version of Shoddy Battle.

With Shoddy Battle 2 the network protocol is going to be very simple so it will be easier for anyone to build a client for any platform. That being said, it would be up to someone else to do it, since me and Colin won't likely be working on it.

but yea, I think that smogon should actually go for it and make an shoddy iphone/android app, or even a dsi third party application.

 

[GatitoNeku]

smogon should make the BB version as well,and for if they make it for the DSi, please make it compatible with DS too(with R4 or supercards).

 

[remlabmez]

man I wish shoddy battle could be an iPhone app, would be so amazing.

and I have tried looking a way around to let my iPhone run java and such but I havent had any luck so I kind of just gave up.

 

[Nindragon]

Holy crap, that'd be awesome. Someone needs to step up and make this an iPhone app! *gets out Nerd's guide on how to whistle Programmer Calls*
