More details later, when I'm not typing on an iPad. :)

Superb. And I say this before actually trying the app.

You just opened a big door into a whole new realm.
Well done and, uhm... Thank you.

Apparently there's a flaky segfault in there somewhere. Doesn't affect everybody. Not sure whether it's the interpreter engine or display layer going wrong...

You rock hard. I will be encouraging (read haranguing) iOS users I know about this. Thanks for spreading the IF love.

This is very awesome news Zarf! A heroic deed indeed. I really like the UI, feels great! Btw. I experienced the bug upon first loading it up, quitting and restarting helped. Cheers!

Great work, Zarf!

Unfortunately, I'm also getting that "signal 11" fatal error and it doesn't seem to go away. This is on an iPhone 4 model MC605KS running iOS 5.1 (9B176). Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you figure out who gets the error or not.

It is an array-overflow error, which means there's absolutely no logic to it. (Actually array-underflow -- it winds up writing to memory before the start of the array.)

What happens then depends on the exact order that memory blocks were allocated in, which is unpredictable.

I will be submitting a patch tonight.

Speaking of extraneous touchpad typing -- it is intentional that all directions need to be prefaced with "go"?

Mm? It's the standard I6 direction parsing.

Just wanted to note that the problem DID go away for me, when I tried it once more, maybe the fifth time I opened the app.

Strictly from an evolutionary standpoint it seems these
intermittent bugs have found a very clever survival strategy.
