Post by vinaximus »

Will the game be available for 2560x1600 tablets like the nexus 10?

There have been no details about specs for the tablets it will run on released. I am sure once they are released, a Moderator will add something about them to the FAQ.

I really hope that the app is universal, ie. able to be run on any device above the minimum API level.

It was stated at the meet that the iOS version at least was retina-enabled.

Retina is another way to say 326ppi. Not a software or anything.

I don't really know much about Android development, but I *think* any app that can support above the standard 2.3 resolution profile (i.e. doesn't offer the 'stretch' option on 4.0+ devices) will run at native resolution. The interface might get a bit small, though.

Apple uses the term "retina", as do its app developers, so I do too. :roll:

Well, new knowledge to differ marketing with actual specs. :wink:
Ex. some new devices (other than from Apple) does have an even higher ppi than 326, but ppi over 300 don't make noticeable difference with even higher ones.

I personally don't like people using marketing terms and try to avoid using them as well.

If it's "retina enabled" then I hope they are using vector graphics for the GUI at least. Apple have far from done the programming world a favour by having two PPI standards, as now everyone just makes apps with two sets of graphics in. :evil:
