Intro

The App is now available on the Google Play Store:

What am I even looking at?

• https://github.com/abbott221/WebsiteAndApp/blob/master/HOWTOPLAY.md
• https://github.com/abbott221/WebsiteAndApp/blob/master/HOWTOPLAY_TLDR.md

This repository has very poor documentation and this README is not updated very frequently, but here's a general roadmap of what folder of code does what

• App
  • res : "resources" such as XML files that describe the layout of various screens and png files that are displayed on them
  • src : "source" this is where all the Java files are stored
    • com.MichaelAbbott.myCustomView : an early version of the game that doesn't use images
    • com.MichaelAbbott.myViewAsSurface5 : the first implementation of the game that uses images
    • com.MichaelAbbott.myViewAsSurface6 : the second implementation of the game that uses images, this is the one currently being worked on
    • com.MichaelAbbott.myfirstapp : the screens created that aren't involved in the game
    • com.MichaelAbbott.standards : a few early interfaces that I made which aren't really that useful
• Website : yes there is a website involved, but will be used to support the multiplayer database in the future

TODO

• Properly update the rest of this page
• Find a sufficient and not messy way of doing multithreading
• Bring the board to a SurfaceView
• Use XML file for the board activity's set-up process
• Incorprate the database for log-ins, chats and stuff
• Do saved instance bundles
• stop sending ALL of the database info in every single request

These will be organized most recent to least recent
