Streaming video to iPad?

[bjornte]

Hi,

In this post I am assuming that we will not get a native iOS port (Although that is actually mentioned in the FAQ (http://www.grimrock.net/frequently-asked-questions/): «We release on Windows first, followed by Mac and iOS.»)

I have a modern, LoG-capable Mac at home in addition to my iPad. The latter is my preferred gaming device. I am wondering if anyone has had success playing LoG on an iPad by streaming the video from a computer using Splashtop Streamer or similar? Or are there e.g. keyboard and mouse dependencies that make this scenario unfeasible?

I have a bluetooth keyboard for the iPad (which, honestly, I prefer not to use for games). The keyboard does not have arrow keys, but I assume one could regonfigure these to e.g. A+S+D+W?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Bjørn T.

I've made it work with Splashtop using a Kindle Fire, but it's too laggy to really play it that way, for me.

I agree that lagging really breaks it, and Splashtop is laggy at least in the configurations I have tried. Nintendo has solved this problem with the Wii U game pad. Is this the only product that has lag-free video to a handheld screen? I tried asking at Quora but so far little response:
