Hey -
Just came across Roll20 the other day. It looks fantastic. I'm just curious - what kind of tech does Roll20 use? HTML5/jQuery? Flash/Flex? Java?
Thanks.
It's HTML5 (so heavy use of advanced JS techniques, Canvas, Audio API, etc.).
<a href="http://help.roll20.net/acknowledgements" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/acknowledgements</a> has a list at the bottom of the 3rd party libraries in use (well, the major ones).
It's getting there :-)
Even though the iPad (and other mobile devices) can run HTML5, there is a lot of performance optimization and UI tweaking that has to go into it to make it work correctly. Also none of the mobile tablets currently support native HTML5 drag and drop, so we're having to find a workaround there. Stuff like that.
We should have some version of mobile support on the Dev Server in the next month or so, we hope.
