 BrainKing for Android

Discuss the development of our Android application.

Find it on Google Play here: BrainKing for Android
Warning! The application is far from being finished, so please do not rate it yet. It is published for testing purposes at the moment.

Try it out and get 50 free Brains. :-) Find details here (bottom).

Currently supported games: Chess and "normal" variants (without start position editing, behemoths etc.), Checkers and variants (although white starts all games, it's just a visual issue), Backgammon and variants (except Fevga and I am not quite sure about Plakoto), Froglet and variants, Breakthrough, Lines of Action and variants, Line4 and variants, Halma, Knight Fight, Tablut, Five in Line, Ludo, Run around the Pond.
Please note that opening an unsupported game will show a blank page (yes, I will improve it soon). If it happens, just click the back button to get the game list.

Argomento: JellyBean and gif
I have just found out that Android 4.1 (JellyBean) does not display gif images properly, so if you use this version on your device and do not see any chess pieces, this should be the reason. The pieces will be replaced by png images soon.

Hrqls: You are welcome. A little promotion cannot hurt. In fact, I was thinking of making an achievement out of it, but I am afraid that people without an Android phone would feel bad about it.

If no unexpected problems occur, the app should support all 128 game types by the end of this year.

After a short break (I was working on another project) I have uploaded a new version of BrainKing for Android. It supports more games (see this board description) and fixes one backgammon bug with autoswapped dice.

Argomento: Messages remain for next game
If I send a message to my opponent when I submit my move, the text remains in the box, as if it is going to be sent to the opponent of the next game as well. (I didn't test if it is actually sent.)

Also, when I select system events, I get a list of message title, but I don't seem to be able to actually read the messages. Is that supposed to be working.

If it matters, Android 2.1 on Galaxy S

Argomento: Re: Messages remain for next game
troydaniels: You are right, I forgot to clear the text field after sending a move. Will be fixed.
Regarding system events, it really shows only the event list at the moment. I just wanted to test something and didn't implement all functions yet.

5. Novembre 2012, 08:07:20
Fencer 
Argomento: Re: Messages remain for next game
Hrqls: I believe that Fevga is kind of playable but the off bars are located at the same side (instead of opposite directions). But I guess that's the only issue with it.

Fencer: hmm just tested (opened a fevga game both on my coputer as well as on my phone) .. and it was perfect .. exactly the same on my computer as in the app on my phone

Argomento: Re: fevga
Hrqls: And are you white or black? It is possible that phone version shows it right only under specific circumstances. Anyway, it is just a visual bug, the game is playable, indeed.

Argomento: Re: fevga
Fencer: will check next time when its my move again

it might be indeed that in 1 of the games i was 1 color (and confused), and in the other it was ok

Fencer: the following game looks mirrored when i view it on my phone
(i am black in this game both on the website as on my phone, but the board is mirrored)

Fevga (ennukene00 - Hrqls)

the other game (where i am white) the board is not mirrored

there is not real problem though, as the game is played mirrored as well as the board .. it just is confusing to watch :)

It's in experimental status, so I don't guarantee it will work without any problems.

Whoever had a problem using the Android client with user name containing spaces, please upgrade to 0.7.2 when it is available on Google Play.

Argomento: 0.7.3
Since I have forgotten to remove localhost connection, please wait for 0.7.3 that should be available in every moment. 0.7.2 won't connect to the server.

Fencer.....Until you manage to have all games up & running on Android, would it be possible to have a send move (and goto next game of this type button) do you think.

It can be a right pain just playing one game, then getting the blank screen and then going back to main page, just so you have to look for next one.

Just a thought

Oh....P.S. Love the way Dice Chess works

Argomento: Re:
MadMonkey: Sure. When I find enough space for another button or selector. But it should not be difficult, the app is actually prepared for it, it's just a matter of UI.

It also fixes an accept/reject double bug in backgammon and supports some more games (five in line, checkers).

Also, i just noticed your other Apps I knew bout BrainCalc, but not the others, will have a look through them later

And being as blind as i am lol...i have just noticed something...
Is there something odd about the points on the Gammon game board ??
I thought if you were on a certain colour (Pink for example) and you through a even number, you end up on the same colour. Depending where you are on the board, this does not always happen on here ...well, not on my phone anyway

Although Google claims that new reviews should be bound to Google+ accounts, I still see "Google User" only. No idea how it is supposed to work.
