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.

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.
Fencer: while you're at it: When entering a move in a game make the go to... Behave as defined by the user's default settings if this is too heavy, at least don't propose unplayable games.
i love playing backgammon via de android app but not playing chess or froglet with it because i am missing some curcial information :
- chess : the pieces which are captured by you and your opponent - chess : history of moves (to try to remember my plan) - froglet : history of moves with scored points - froglet : current score
and in backgammon i am missing : - match score, which is very important when using the doubling cube
furbster: agree! i would love all line games to come to android .. but i already love the ease of the backgammon and chess games on android brainking
some improvements could me made though : i would love to be able to get the history of moves (to see what i did before in case i forgot my plans :)) .. and i would love to see which pieces are captured
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.
MadMonkey: thanks!!! i am curious to try, but quite limited in my time, so any head-start might encourage me to actually start and no longer postpone :)
Bwild: Wildfire S should be supported. What exactly is "trouble loading"? Can you install it from Google Play? What happens when you start it? Do other apps of mine (BrainCalc, Digital Clock Widget, ...) for on your phone?
Fencer: me complain ??? never.......lol .................. I am an idea conveyor
Funny that I only just noticed when i was going to move 2 pieces 6 spots as i thought they would plug a gap between others, BUT they didnt only because i was looking at the point colours rather than counting
MadMonkey: And don't forget to rate them! (other apps) 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.
MadMonkey: Yes, it's possible that the pip colors are not quite right, I've just made them "some way" until someone complains about it. It can be easily fixed.

Fencer: Thanks
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
MadMonkey: I've added it as a new menu / settings option to 0.7.4. It also fixes an accept/reject double bug in backgammon and supports some more games (five in line, checkers).
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.
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.
Hrqls: Company i worked for here (Waitrose) use XP for everything in all there distribution warehouses etc.... now they have real problems with support for it finishing in 2014
(at home i have : 1x Android, 1xLinux & 2x Dual boot Linux / XP ) but there is only me lol ...and at present i have 1 Desktop & 8 Laptops i am repairing, all running some version of Windows)
MadMonkey: already did, and back again, and doubling now ... sad fact : our traffic controllers (traffic lights, etc) were running on linux, but we moved to windows xp embedded 2 years ago :(
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.
