Another awesome file …. works good in Safari
@MtnGoatJoe:
Here’s another tool that some people might find useful (especially for new players or players trying to keep track of a large, diverse purchase).
It’s my Unit Purchase Tool. It’s simply a web form that lets you enter your income and industrial capacity (optional), and then select units. The total IPCs remaining is shown at the top.
I use it on iOS, and I’ve tested it on a PC with Chrome and on a Surface tablet. They all seem to work fine.
On iOS, it’s best if you can put the file on a web server, open it, and save it to your home page (it’s just one self-contained file and doesn’t need access to the internet once it’s on the iOS home screen). The file will open in Mail, but it won’t work. Another option is to upload it to Dropbox. It will open in iOS and work from there (you just can’t save it to your home page and it has some weird usability behavior; it works, but it’s kinda weird). As much as it pains me to say it, accessing the file is easier on the Surface.
Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think.
Edit: I added a manifest file so that once it’s on your iOS home screen, you can remove it from your server. The form will work whether or not you’re connected to the internet.
