I’m using MindNode Pro on my Mac and MindNode Touch on the iPhone to exchange “maps” (works pretty well actually). As you can also exchange savegames with iPhone Frotz and Gargoyle or Zoom, it’s a seamless experience. Great!
The mapping function on Andrew Plotkins new App Store version of ‘The Dreamhold’ seems to be pretty good.
If more App versions of IF begin to appear, I think this type of mapping will solve all of the ‘on the go’ mapping problems that I have been experiencing.
True, but the idea itself does solve the problem. I appreciate though, that its not always simple to just plonk a map on there. Its a shame that there is no way to run a self mapper on IOS like Trizbort.
You can see a screenshot at itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-drea … 70810?mt=8 (scroll sideways in the screenshots list). It’s not “auto” in any sense; I created a map in Inkscape, and then split it up into sections that are composited as they’re visited.
Maybe in the future, when glulx’s multimedia features work online and/or ios form, glulx authors might be able to pack at least the vanilla automap into ios games, or their own prettier version.
