Dragonsweeper Mobile Controls and Touch Strategy
Dragonsweeper supports touch play with tap-to-reveal and long-press flagging. The strategy is unchanged, but compact screens reward slower, more deliberate input.
Tap versus long press
A quick tap reveals while a deliberate hold flags. Wait for the visual response before moving your finger.
Prevent input mistakes
Touch the center of a tile rather than its edge. Close unnecessary browser controls and use landscape mode when the board feels cramped.
Mobile pacing
A flood reveal may change several clues at once. Slow down after large reveals and rescan the entire visible frontier.
Renderer performance
The active renderer uses one global pointer pipeline, persistent tile objects, cached labels, and dirty updates to reduce per-cell overhead on mobile devices.
Frequently asked questions
How do I flag on mobile?
Press and hold the target cell.
Can I cancel a press?
