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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
