Subject: 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.

Subject: Spaces in user name

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.

Subject: Re: how about ponds?

rabbitoid: I've just added ponds to 0.7.1.
It's in experimental status, so I don't guarantee it will work without any problems.

That should be fairly easy.

Subject: Re: fevga

Fencer: :) ok i will use it unofficially then :)

Subject: Re: fevga

Hrqls: That's what I have talked about.

And that's why Fevga is not officially supported yet.

Subject: Re: fevga

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 :)

Subject: 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

5. November 2012, 10:11:09

Subject: 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.

Subject: fevga

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

Subject: Re: Messages remain for next game

Fencer: thats true .. i was confused a bit until i realized i was moving the other way :)

if my move was correct that way :)

Subject: 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.

Subject: Re: Messages remain for next game

Fencer: i think i used the app to play fevga (in this board desc you mention that fevga doesnt work yet)

Subject: 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.

Subject: 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

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.

Subject: Re:

tricialou: You are welcome.

I am aware of several backgammon bugs that will be fixed when I get back to work (doing some improvements to BrainCalc now).
If no unexpected problems occur, the app should support all 128 game types by the end of this year.

It seems to be working quite well on mine, just the odd little hiccup. It is very quick, I love it. Thank you Fencer.

I'm going to ask a stupid question but how do you know if you have an andriod phone?

Fencer: agree, achievements should be available for all

Subject: Re: free brains

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.
