Sound on/off?

Post by Bing »

Is there any way to turn the sound completely off on the iPhone? If I'm playing it on the bus or a plane, I'd like to be able to keep it silent.

I couldn't find these instructions on the iPhone forum yet when I looked.

Thanks!

In the game list, choose 'Edit Game...'
Go to Volume, and edit the volume settings.

Don't know if there is something like a 'Mute' button though...

It would be quite convenient if the port checked to see whether the silence switch on the iPhone were flipped or not -- but unless I'm mistaken, the iPod Touch doesn't have that little switch and so it may be exceedingly hard for Vinterstum to program/test it.

Yup, would have no way of testing it.

But if anyone knows of some other homebrew app that uses the same thing, that'd help :). Would just have to use someone with an iPhone as a guinea pig.

I went into Options (the same way you Save/Load a game) and it had volume settings in there. That's the best I could find, and it works for me!

My only question is... HOW did I get to that menu? I've tried several finger combinations and can't seem to find it again.

Found it again! Portrait veiw, then clicking "(" on the keyboard brings up that menu.

I'll keep my eyes peeled :)

Check the "Controls" section there :) There's a much easier shortcut to the menu.
