Suggestion: Repentance iOS version? #652

Greetings. I noticed that among the instructions for applying the mod, the iOS version of the game is also present but it stops at Rebirth. Is it possible to update the mod so that it can also be used for Repentance iOS? A thousand thanks.

The iOS version of the game does not have a modding API, therefore a Repentance version of the mod would require us to use the old rebirth method of modding. that is done by replacing each item sprite with a much bigger version, that also adds a part that contains the item descriptions as a text box like shown here: collectibles_121_oddmushroomlarge

The problem is, that back then, those images where created and adjusted manually, to optimize every pixel of screen space, because they are always visible and therefore are very easy to overlap each other.

for a repentance version of that, we would need to create all 700+ collectible and 200+ trinket descriptions from scratch, because a lot of item effects changed over the years. that task is extremely time consuming, if its not automated by a script of some sort.

I currently dont have the time to invest in making such a script, therefore i will not create a Repentance version for iOS in the forseeable future.

If someone else is willing to tackle this task, they can of course do so
