Cannot view running application if window is too narrow
The good news is I was able to get Eve itself running from the tablet but I can't actually use it there. If I connect to any Eve environment with Chrome on a tablet, the display area is off the screen and it's not even possible to scroll to see it.
Which tablet you're using? Make, model, OS, chrome version would help :) I'm guessing it's an android tablet?
I using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A running Android 6.0.1 and Chrome 54.0.2840.85. I have attached a screenshot.
Ah okay, it's because the horizontal resolution is too low, and we don't scroll the workspace area. This should be fixed.
I also notice that the word "examples" has disappeared from the upper left (above "Flappy Eve") although it is still a clickable region and will take you back to the top level of examples if you touch there.
That's because it only appears on mouse hover, which should also probably change. We need to do some work to think about how the editor can be used on a tablet, but that will come down the line. Little fixes like these shouldn't be an issue though.
It was actually cool that I could get it running there at least and was able to attach to it form a laptop to verify it was working. I am using Termux which supports apt so I was able to install git, nodejs, and then just startup Eve.
Although I know my way around C/C++/C#, I'm more interested in languages that promote RAD and have been looking for ways to create Android apps using them. I was looking at using Python but am intrigued by Eve. My first attempts were going to be a shopping list app and one to connect to Habitica to provide functionality lacking in the existing app.
Cool, never heard of Habitica. I think you'll find the current state of Eve might fall a little short of your goal, there, but learning the language through a shopping list App will work out okay. We've already done some work in making stand-alone Eve apps, which will be merged soon: https://github.com/witheve/Eve/pull/571
And we're working on easy ways to connect Eve to external services like Habitica. I'll put that on the list to make sure it's easy for you (if it's possible).
I happened to discover a workaround for this today. If you click on the left pointing triangle in the table of contents pane to hide it, then the running application pane appears. I did this on my phone (not sure the resolution) and even in portrait mode could scroll between the code pane and the running application pane.
