Most excellent schooling there.

Yeah. I would have been satisfied after it shuffled.

I just changed it so that folks who want to play will have to have the update.

You've never seen me play. I really just need a partner who can follow suit.

That bid did have three very fortunate splits. Gave me an idea though. If we could find a way to discuss computer moves during play.

There's a GC chat feature I was considering implementing at some point. There's also the phone, which works while the app is up.

So last night, I changed the 42 profile so that you must upgrade to 2.0.4 to play multiplayer. Since then, have there been any issues as described a few messages back?

The current version works so far in iOS 7. My beta license with you expired last month. Let me know if you need testing in 7.

Phillip,

I found what I believe to be a playing error. My partner bid 31 with doubles, gave the lead to the opposing team because he didn't have double six. You'll see in the picture that while we lost a ten count on the first play, partner didn't have a two, yet didn't trump and allowed us to lose.

What's best way to get screenshot from my Iphone to here? Not sure what to put between the . Thanks.

You have to put it on a host server. Or you can just e-mail it to me. Either way, I'll flag it to look at in the future.

Alright. Just made a significant leap in developing for the Android this weekend. For the most part, I've completely ported over one of the most important tools in the game. From here on out, the hardest thing I have left will be managing all the various types of layouts (my God, there's a million of them to deal with).

I may start with just 480x800 hdpi devices for now and expand as I go along. How many of you would this cover?

I'm on the Nexus 4 (1280 x 768 ) and the Nexus 10 (2560×1600).

I'm on a Nexus 7. It is 1280x800. Not too worried about the timing of the release.

A quick question, if you release an app that is designed for a smaller screen, is there any reason it can't be viewed on a device with a larger screen? Will the image not get stretched or be letterboxed?
Philip J Fry

If it has the same aspect ratio, then no. Android can just blow it up, but it'll lose some clarity in the process.

Otherwise, I can just make it add black bars on the top/bottom/sides to keep my designed aspect ratio on tact. Seems like a really tacky way to handle it though.

That makes sense. I'm really not too worried about getting the app. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to have it some day, but there is an app on the android market that will work until yours is out there.
Philip J Fry

Understood. However, it isn't multiplayer as far as I know and I fully intend to go that route once I'm up and running.

Android user request: Please post a new thread on here when the Android version is available? I will definitely download it, but I don't check in on this thread often, so may never know when it's available... looking forward to seeing it, tho!
Philip J Fry

Will do. Once I get to the point of needing Android Beta testers, I'll start a new thread.

It isn't multiplayer, but for now it exists. When I first came across this thread the android version didn't exist, so it was a frustrating wait. Now that there is an android version it's at least something until your better version comes out.

Why does the computer partner continue to throw doubles as offs, and then we get set. This hand I just completed we were in control of the game. I was in the lead, my partner had 3 dominoes left - 2 trumps (the last 2 trumps) and a double. All he needed to do was trump in and we would win the rest of the tricks. But instead he plays his double and keeps the 2 trumps. The other opponent then didn't have to follow suit and put a 10-count on the trick and we lost. This happens a LOT! My wife plays all the time and this is one of her biggest complaints in the computer partner.

I have a screen capture but how do you upload it to here?

You need to host the image (i.e. upload it to PhotoBucket.com), then insert the image URL between the IMG codes.

Here is the TexAgs forum code help: http://texags.com/main/forumcode.asp

Probably because something in here:

quote:

if (int_maxnumberabove==0 && (int_player2numberoftrumps-1> =int_numberofmytrumpshigherthanoppentshightrump
||int_player3numberoftrumps+int_player1numberoftrumps==0 ))
{boo_walkers=true;}

if (boo_walkers==true && boo_winninglowtrumpexists==true)
{

boo_tilefound=true;
int_player2moveindex=int_player2lowjunktrumpindex;
}


else if( int_player2numberoftrumps> 0 &&
([[marray_table[0]valueForKey:@"int_trickvalue"]intValue]> =float_randomplay
|| (int_player2numberoftrumps+int_player2numbernontrumpswithcount==[marray_player2 count])
|| boo_player3likelyforcedcount==true
|| boo_player4likelyforcedcount==true
|| (boo_team2wonbid && 42-1-int_team1trickscore<int_team2scorerequirement)
|| (boo_team1wonbid && 42-1-int_team2trickscore<int_team1scorerequirement)
|| (([[marray_player2[int_player2hightrumpindex]valueForKey:@"int_trickvalue"]intValue]> 0
&& (int_player2hightrump<int_player3hightrump && int_player2hightrump<int_player1hightrump))
&& (int_player3numberlead> 1 || int_player3numberoftrumps==0 || boo_player3likelyloses==true))))
{



is not working as expected. Like I said before, if you can't figure out how to post it on here, I'm happy to get it via email. Doesn't really matter to me one way or another.

Just bought the app, which is pretty sweet. Good work!

My request, and I apologize if this has already been brought up, but to add a doubles are a suit of their own option.

So no trumps follow me, but doubles are their own suit.
Philip J Fry

That is on my list for the next release....as are the following:

Nello Doubles
Splash
Plunge
A house rules menu to turn these options on/off

This will be done concurrently with Android development.

Just downloaded. Pretty great AI for such a complicated game. 2 bucks for hours of quality poops is well worth it.

Downloaded to my Asus Transformer Infinity and every time I hit "Single Player", the game crashes to the desktop, no error message. Uninstalled (purchase refunded), repurchased, reinstalled, same thing still happening.

Pretty sure I know what's wrong with it. Should be fixed in a few hours.

Just uploaded 1.0.3. This should fix your issue CrockerCock00.
