Description
There is some demand for a mobile / tablet version of Tiled. Even though I think it will be very hard to match the desktop version of Tiled in terms of productivity and functionality, there are reasons why it would sometimes be preferable to be able to view and work on maps while not having access to a desktop PC.
There have been others who have built mobile map editors compatible with Tiled's map format, namely [iTileMaps](https://www.klemix.com/) (iOS) and [Terrapin](http://www.terrapinengine.com/) (Android). These have been developed using the native technologies of their respective platforms. Unfortunately both projects are not in active development.
Personally I would prefer to share code with the C++/Qt-based desktop Tiled (through `libtiled`) and build a mobile version using Qt Quick (the new hardware-accelerated and mobile-ready interface layer of Qt).
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing C++/Qt desktop architecture and the shared libtiled component, then assess how Qt Quick could support a mobile interface. The issue does not identify files, tests, a concrete scope, or acceptance criteria, so a contributor would first need to define the target platforms and the expected mobile feature set.
