Saving games and/or save games to iCloud?

[Scott]

I'd really love it if I could start a game on my iPad, then switch
over to my iPhone while on the go to continue to the game.

Any plans to store loaded games or save state in iCloud?

Well, if you use Dropbox, you can already do this, although it only
syncs regular saved games to the cloud, not autosaves.
Cloud-syncing autosaves is problematic because there's only one per
game, and if you are offline and can't sync to the cloud and start
playing, you might end up with conflict resolution issues when you do
go online that don't show up with regular saved games. I will
probably eventually tackle this problem, but it's the reason autosaves
don't cloud=sync yet.

I've looked at iCloud syncing and will probably implement that too in
the future, but it's not a priority since Dropbox is free, multi-
platform, and works well.

I use dropbox to sync game saves between ifrotz on my iPad and interpreters on my PC.
Is there any chance of making a checkbox in the dropbox menu options that allowed us to chose whether or not to create the separate save folders?
I would prefer not to have the separate folders as this makes it much easier for me to sync with the 'single' save game folder on my laptop, and my NAS box.
Your interpreter is by far the best of the many i have used :)

Frotz uses separate folders per game so that the user doesn't have to remember which save files go with which games or adopt their own naming convention to keep organized.  I think allowing turning this off would be confusing to the user unless I came up with another way to ensure only saved games associated with the active game are shown.   This would require actually opening and reading all saved game files when presenting the listing in order to filter them, which would be potentially slow and expensive.   I'm afraid this is unlikely to be implemented, sorry.  I might be able to forego the filtering and put it in as a hidden feature which is not visible in the default settings or something, I'll think about it.
