Tootsville IV for Android

A port of Tootsville IV that was briefly created for Android.

Due to the inability to import artwork from Adobe Flash, and the lack of time/resources to re-create the artwork, this was an extremely limited version of the game. It featured only chatting in various rooms.

  • Characters would be “placed” into an entry point in the room, and immediately walk in a random direction until they hit a wall. They did not activate doors/portals.
  • Players using the Android program could not see the room's artwork or the relative placement of characters within the room, but could see a list of names.
  • Toots characters appeared with a Toot head icon showing their skin color and the color of their pattern, but no other details. The pattern (on the tiny icon) always was a set of dots.
  • Other non-Toot characters appeared as a generic grey “face” icon.
  • The screen could switch between the list of characters in the room (and the room's name); the chat history of everyone speaking in that room; and the list of main rooms to which the player could teleport by Magic Compass, including their Home.

Supported features were:

Unsupported were actions, using items, etc.

When some items were used in the active room, “fake” characters would appear to join and depart. For example, Zap's lightning bolt and Shade's balls of mist would show up as though they were characters named things like “shaddowBall~1.” This was a bug.

This program was tested internally but never polished up enough to be released to the public. As of 10:56, 25 July 2016 (PDT) the program code is thought to have been lost.
