Or a keyboard. In the last case it is possible to use a program called scrcpy to control an Android phone from a PC as if it were a keyboard connected to the phone. The shortcuts from the original Tile World would also be a nice detail. I would also appreciate a smaller file size but i understood your explanation.Adding controller support probably wouldn't be too difficult. I would need to set up some sort of key binding UI, but it sounds doable. It would be easy to add hotkey bindings at that point as well.
Also, it would be nice if this supported other languages. I am willing to translate this to Spanish (of course, i would need a list of all text strings).
Regarding localizations, I always thought it could be interesting experiment if I could hook in Google Translation APIs to translate an app on demand and cache the information. With this it could be possible for level hints to be translated, even ones that were uploaded by the user. I am always looking for ways to make things more complicated then they have to be lol.
If it proves too difficult (or expensive, according to Google's pricing schedule), I would definitely entertain third party translation.
