If anyone would like to test Maemo robotfindskitten 1.40, please let me know.
Changes in v1.40 will include:
1) (done:) kitten is on the front page as well as robot
2) (done:) portrait mode!!

3) (done:) rather than taps on the screen being interpreted with respect to robot's position, the screen is divided into parts as with the iPhone port (which I haven't played). This idea is from Will Thompson.
4) (done:) optification (doesn't affect most users except that they will have slightly more free disk space)
5) (still to be done:) help will be in-process using gtkhtml, rather than launching the browser.
I need to know whether the new controls are usable, and whether portrait mode is easily playable. I also want to know whether it's less disorienting for the board to turn 90° in portrait mode, or to stay as it is but be stretched.
v1.40 will not include the ability to edit non-kitten items, unless someone says they really want this feature.
The current known bug, which will be fixed by release time, is that the front screen is too cramped in portrait mode.
