latest 1.7.2 source

[tehface]

hey there, wondering if this is the latest 1.7.2.x source as am wanting to port to iOS

cheers :)

I'm not the author, but I built and ran the latest commit in this repo and can tell you that the source here is currently for v1.7.1c; which makes sense as the most recent update on the Play Store is a good week or two after the most recent commit here.

Cheers!

he has released 1.7.2a on the play store so you need to update 💃

If the maintainer can take the time to make new Play Store releases, be active on twitter, and make blog posts, but can't even occasionally respond to this project's issues/pull requests, then I don't know why they open sourced it in the first place. I'm not sure if @watabou doesn't have email notifications enabled for this repo, or is just being inconsiderate. This was willingly open sourced (presumably), so at least give the minimal amount of responsiveness necessary to not make [potential] contributors feel completely ignored.

@pyrohh dude - this is a single person, with finite time, who may have multiple projects, of which Pixel Dungeon may just be a hobby.

From my experience, when you're adding new features, there are a couple steps:
0. Think of feature

1. Code it up, make sure it works
2. Put out for testing (in this case, publish on the Google Play Store).
3. Observe how people interact with new features
4. (Optional) Document and cleanup in preparation for adding more features.

From @watabou 's point of view, it doesn't make sense doing #4 until the features are stabilized, and it would lead to fragmentation for anyone who's forking the repo.

You can probably be patient.

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not asking @watabou to do any significant work, I'm not asking the maintainer to implement any of the pull requests, I'm not even asking him to fix any of the bug reports. I'm just asking @watabou to acknowledge the contributions that people are doing on their own time, for free.

The least @watabou could do is respond to some of the damn issues saying what he/she thinks about them.

From @watabou 's point of view, it doesn't make sense doing #4 until the features are stabilized, and it would lead to fragmentation for anyone who's forking the repo.

See above.

The worst possible thing @watabou could do to the contributors is ignore them, and that's what has been done. Not a single issue has been responded to by him/her. How would you like it if you helped someone in public out of purely altruistic intentions, only to be completely ignored? I'm not asking hours of time to be invested, just for a simple comment to acknowledge contributors.

You can probably be patient.

I'm annoyed at @watabou's behavior, not because I feel entitled to a constant and rapid feed of high quality game content for free. A good example would be the silver searcher. I submitted a pull request to that project knowing that the maintainer was busy; he had a few comments left on recent pull requests stating that he was busy but would get around to them when he had the time. He eventually did get around to them, and I felt my work appreciated because he had been transparent.

Again, @watabou hasn't responded to any feedback on this project (at least on GH). If he doesn't respond to GH requests, then a note should be left in the repo saying so. Either email notifications aren't enabled, or he's just being apathetic.

you know i didn't want to start some " great debate " and i would like it if you don't come to a issue request and start a moan fest it was a simple question.. and for that i don't need to read all of this crap.. am closing the issue and thanks to the moaners on here losing interest in an iOS port really fast.. thank you and good bye

I stand by what I said, but I suppose this was the wrong place to bring it up. Sorry.

[tehface]

i really don't care what you have to say, the author can do whatever he wants, after all its his project, it does not " give you the right " to tell him what and how to do things period!

Did you even read my post? You're defending incompetence and defending the fact that you haven't gotten an official response. This is hopeless, unsubscribed.

@pyrohh +1

[schuylernathaniel]

The author also doesn't respond to the email he gives in the game and everywhere else that I can find. Its been over a week with three emails sent and no response for any of them.

[vennumallesh]

I agree

[phikal]

Updating the repository is even easier than being active, and even that is not done.
