This will probably be ignored because of what a stupid idea it is, but it would be awesome if fancy pants came out for ipod. If it's possible imagine world 3 for the iPod Touch! The controls could work with tilt for movement and tapping the screen to jump. I know nothing about code, programming or anything that involves numbers so I have no idea how easy or hard this might be, that being said though, a fancy pants app would make me so happy.

tell me what you think, or just tell me that I'm stupid
I don't care

By the way if Brad comes around and sees this post good job on winning the Newgrounds Tank Award for best game of the year!

I could see something like FPA hitting the app store. Although it'd probably be easier in some retrospect to account for the less accurate tilt controls.

Personally though, I think Brad should try and get FPA on one of the game consoles downloadable marketplaces (XBLM, WiiWare, PSN). I would definitely buy it.

That would be cool too, but there's already a forum for that.
Personally I think that having it on a console would be kind of redundant, the point of having it on an ipod is that one can play it anywhere and anytime, if there's fancy pants for console why not just play it on your computer? Laptops have more portability than an Xbox. The point of putting FPA on Xbox is for profit, not for accessibility, thats what happened to N.

by the way I'm a forum noob, how do you make a signature with a picture or gamertag?

Well I think that FPA would be cool on any platform. I the iphone- ipod touch do not have flash support so i was thinking in the next iphone-ipod touch they might add flash support and maybe a built in flash player so that they could sell flash games. If this does happen then FPA could be ported easily. I think.

How about FPA on the DS? I can definitely see that happening.

Brad could easily port it for the psp, it has a flash player as of firmware 3.5 or so. Assuming that FPA could be made to be under 2 mb and published in flash 7.

I could possibly see that happen, but I don't think that's an option Brad is going to take. Especially considering the size of the DS market in comparison.

But still, personally I think Brad should go for one of the downloadable services.

Why not put FPA on all the easy to port to platforms?

Probably because Brad doesn't want a half-assed port of his game.

Just put in the signature bit what you'd do to post pictures on the forum.

[img src="INSERT LINK HERE"]

Just swap out the []s for <>s.

This is a pretty good idea, I would love to see fancy pants in the app store. but for the controls I think it would be better to:

touch right half of screen=move right
touch left half of screen=move left
tap fancy pants guy=jump/open door

@SamyAdel9. Okay, you are new, so the mods will probably give you a break. but for future reference, if you stay. Don't bump up threads that haven't been used for YEARS if there is no point of it, and just saying stuff like "I think this is a good idea" or "i would like to see FPM in the app store."

If someone would like to correct me for being harsh, please do, but im just trying to follow the forum rules that have been established. Which does include not bumping old threads like this one up for NO reason.

This signature requires LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE, which you OBVIOUSLY dont have. Have a nice day.

Okay now it's bumped...
I have to say that it's a hard thing to bring FPA to iOS! Because FPA was made with ActionScript 2! To convert SWF to IPA you must have AS 3! Or am I wrong?

well if it is bumped, we may as well talk about it.

@AJ32: Well, im not a flash genius or anything, but i think you can convert AS2 to AS3, but i am not sure.

I'm not well versed in AS, but it probably is possible to port from AS2Â»AS3. Not sure how easy it'll be, I guess it'd depend on what you've done (some features probably recieved major changes) in AS2.

Long story short: I don't think Brad will attempt to port from AS2Â»AS3 anytime soon.
