Comment on Small update: Wandering Alchemist (Free GPS walking game) is now available on iOS 💚
lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoThanks for the assistance! I’ll have to play with it some more. I had it in the foreground and it definitely wasn’t more than 30 minutes between me turning my screen on and looking at it and while I did walk in one big loop I had opened and played it at different times in the loop so it was more like a big L that my screen was off and in my pocket, and it only tracked a small distance of what I actually walked and it seemed to be the times my screen was on.

Hm… GPS has been quite a pain so far, for both Android and iOS :)
The best hint: If footsteps appear your distance was tracked. So if you lock the phone, walk somewhere, unlock and there’s footsteps from your old to your new position the distance was 100% counted.
With the Godot settings in place the game should prevent your screen from switching off (I usually just lock my phone or use pocket mode if I want to keep it on).
