GURPS Calculator - Mobile Web Application

THE GURPS CALCULATOR

http://www.gurpscalculator.com/

It is my pleasure to announce that after many months of restructuring that the GURPS Calculator is back and better than ever! The Calculator now takes on the new form of a mobile web app that runs straight form your browser, meaning that you can type everything using the ease of a full keyboard on your desktop PC and then access that data from any mobile device!

The GURPS Calculator is still in beta, and as such there is bound to be bugs and issues. We have provided users with an easy interface to submit bugs and feature ideas in the app itself. Please use it!

Thank you all for your support these last 4 years.

What do you need to run it?

[JMD]

This app runs on any device with a web browser.

--Old Text Below--

An Android Phone. I'm releasing it as an apk file which when you transfer it to your droid runs just like an executable file would on your desktop. You simply transfer it over and click on it and it will open.

If the flavor of droid you are running doesn't have a file manager built in you may need to download one on the app market to be able to see non-system related files that you transferred using your usb cable. I myself use ES File Explorer, but I also heard Astro File Manager is quite good.

You can also navigate to the site listed above directly on your phone and download the file, and from there simply open it.

That would be quickest and easiest. For simplicity, here is the direct download url.

I had downloaded it directly to my phone, but didn't see it since it didn't install, using a file manager like you said allowed me to see the file in my download folder and install it. Thanks.

Seems pretty straightforward, is there a toggle to increase HP/FP, or do you need to input new numbers as it changes?

I had considered toggles but didn't need it for myself. Now that this will no longer be a personal program I should probably add it! Easy HP and FP tracking sure be a core component. I'll add it to the next release.

Neat!

May I suggest one thing? for the HP/FP tracker, separate current HP and FP from base FP/HP. That way, you can list things like "over 1/3 HP", "under -HP" bellow. Current FP/HP would be controlled by either direct input, or +/- buttons.
