Public beta of my fork

Discussion

I'm happy to share the public beta of Retro Game Creator, my fork of LowRes NX.

It can be installed on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15.5+) using this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/1vdyycrU. You will need the Official Apple TestFlight application.

Retro Game Creator focuses exclusively on mobile. With it, you'll be able to create programs, share them on the Community website, vote, and comment.

Take screenshots of bugs and share them. You'll be prompted to provide information about any bugs you find.
The app includes a README program and a basic GFX editor to edit characters, palettes, and backgrounds.
There is no SFX editor yet.
BUT: character, palette, and background data are compatible with LowRes NX, so you can simply copy them over.
The online and offline documentation is 99% complete.
The app supports iCloud.
Although the focus is on mobile, it is still possible to compile the project for Windows and Linux (though the UI is currently buggy).
You can access the source code.
There is an embryonic version for Android, but it is not currently a priority.
To discuss the project or share thoughts, visit the official website, the official Discord, or the fantasy console Discord.

The dark background was easier on the eyes.

At some point I will provides a dark theme but I want the user to choose and not force it.

Question: how many of you are interested by an Android version?

Me? Not really. Well maybe if you have the time but I use iPhone

Or for other member of this community. We'll see, if they found this thread.

Being able to pin projects to the top would be useful.
