Re: Android... Please.

Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen, at least not any time
soon. The development model for Android is very different than iOS.
iFrotz is written in C and Objective C, and Android uses Java + XML,
so it would have to be a complete rewrite in a different language
using completely different APIs. Plus I don't even own an Android
device at the moment. I have poked around with the SDK and emulator
and made some toy apps to see what it was like, but rewriting it would
take a huge effort. 'Ever' is a long time so I won't say it won't
ever happen, but it's not likely anytime soon.

I wasn't aware that Twisty was broken and not being maintained.
That's sad to hear.
