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.

Subject: pawn promotion

While playing loop chess, I moved a pawn to the eighth rank. The game did not then offer to let me pick what piece I wanted to promote it to. In fact, I was unable to finish the move.

Subject: No ice in ice chess

When playing Ice Chess, the squares with ice are not marked any differently than the normal squares.

When playing loop chess in the app, it does not appear to be possible to place extra pieces on the board.

Cloning Backgammon (Danika vs. troydaniels)

It appears that the app is not working in this game. It is my turn and I rolled 3-4. My only legal moves require a one or a six, but I have a swap dice button, not a pass movebutton.

I'm about to move through the web interface so that the game does not time out.

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
