Developing games for my phone, from my phone is something that i’ve been thinking about on and off for a few years.
I’ve been using the Obsidian app for planning projects, and for writing generally. I use it on my personal computer and on my phone. I knew that it was possible to get the collections of notes to be synced between devices, but i haven’t been interested in pursuing that for most of the time that i’ve been using Obsidian for notes. Eventually my interest in having the devices share a collection of notes did come though, and i managed to get it working without buying the service that is offered through the app by setting up a Git repository.
Using Git on my iOS phone felt like the big barrier there, but i used a Git client app called Working Copy for that.
I use Git every day for game development work. Having access to this tool on my phone finally felt empowering. It brought me back to the idea of developing games using my phone.
I haven’t made a lot more progress with the idea, but i can tell you that it’s a difficult concept to communicate to the Google search bar.
I started thinking that the next step to explore might be writing an HTML5 page from my phone, and viewing it. That thread brought me back to my own website.
So here i am writing a blog post from my phone, because Squarespace has a mobile app as well.
