all i can see in the app store is 'the game of diplomacy' by chris hughes. Not affiliated with webdip as far as i know...

though the link provided leads to the facebook implementation of webdip, still called phpdiplomacy, so it is forked from webdip.

I use Droidippy, but its Android only. Still waiting for a cross platform app.

Fozzy Brrr...: What do you think of Droidippy? i downloaded it a few months ago, but haven't started any games.

Does anyone here use Droidippy?

I use it.

I actually do have Droidippy. I've only played one game on it, but it has a pretty good interface. Notifications on your phone when another power sends you a message! Intense.

And it's decent. But it's always press games, no variations allowed atm. But for being a free game it's consistently being updated and is better then a lot of other diplomacy like games I've seen.

Yea, the app is solid. My biggest problem is with the people I play with, having encountered unbreakable alliances to the point that is baffling, but that has to do with people. The app is solid, bit only full press as mentioned. Wish this site had an app similar to chess.com

I've been playing for a bit, but it is slow.

I agree Fozzy. I just don't get some of those alliances at all. And some games go slow and other quicker. I think it depends on how talky people get.

I DLed droidippy, but didnt like how it needed access to my gmail to function, so I never tried it,

First of all: the web browser can do a decent job in webdip. Ideal? No, but decent.

Secondly, I've been learning android and intend on trying to make some front end for webdip. Don't hold your breath or ask about it, I'll get to it when I get to it, but I am planning on doing it.

If you are a mobile developer, check out the open source codebase and you'll see communication is done through JSON, so it shouldn't be tough to make a front end to the website.

How's that Dip App coming?

Why doesn't that 'silence user' button nor 'mute user' button under abge's name work?!? :P

To the Droidippy players: In order to play a game with the settings you like, do you have to set up your own game? The main reason I haven't played a game on the app is because joining a random game sounds pretty scary. What if you ended up in a live game! But then when you create your own game, it seems like no one can join it except for people you specifically invite.

Celticfox: No variations? Only one type of press? The options for games you create look rather varied. In fact, it looks like they have more options than on webDiplomacy!

noiseunit: That was a little odd. I read on that sometimes there's and error and Droidippy starts sending you a ton of e-mails. I wonder if that actually happens.

I'm actually in the process of learning Objective C (iPhone language, not Android) for the purpose of making a webDiplomacy app.

That Droidippy interface really is fantastic.
Fortknox: take note!

Where are you seeing the variety. I haven't been able to find any. Also when joining a random game they've always been standard press games. I think 1 day for movements. Also, I do have the paid version so I should be able to see the variety.

Celticfox: I do not have the paid version. Go to Menu --> Play --> Create game

After you commit and say OK, select the game you created. A menu should come up and there are a bunch of options.

Ok it looks like any custom games are by invite only. So if I create a game and leave it people will be pulled into a random game. But the only way to do something like gunboat is to do an invitational game. And Thanks JECE! Didn't realize there were all those options before. I very much prefer gunboat to press games.

Celticfox: Maybe we should set up a game here in this forum. I'm very curious about this app and would like to try it out.

JECE: I would be down for that. So one of us creates a game and then sends out invites to that game via their email address. That's why I think they need access to your email account but I could be wrong. I've never had any problems with a mass amount of email from them, but I could of just gotten lucky.

Celticfox: No, there was an explanation somewhere, but I don't think it was that. You join with the code that you can see in the options page.

I can create a no press game if everyone is OK with that.

hopefully in another day or 2 i could join in an invitational droidippy game

I might as well create the game now. I don't think they expire like in webDip.

Alright:

Invitation code: [I'll PM you it when you ask me for it.]
Private chat: Off
Conference chat: Off [we could do Anonymous for logistical issues?]
Public email: uncheked
Draws include all survivors: checked [I think I'm reading this correctly]
Allow invalid orders: unchecked
End year: 1936 [can't go any later]
Scoring system: c-diplo [no idea what this is]
deadline: 36h [I hope we can finalize our orders on Droidippy]

Invite me in please :) .

Allow invalid orders is unchecked? How barbaric!

Why is there so many commercials around here?

Anyone else interested in joining a Droidippy game? We need four more players. PM me.
