Extended Hiatus

I'm not yet dead, but the project has halted in development due to outstanding circumstances and lack of motivation.

Perhaps one person is doing too much at first.

I am currently recruiting friends to assist me, but I feel that I am trying to cater to a very small market. Therefore, this app will be released free, instead of paid or ad-supported, just to get my name out there.

I am trying to contact the administrator of Magiccards.info to obtain permission to use his work in my application. Ideally, I would like to be the "MagicCards.info Android App" of choice.

Time to sit down and write up the next project. Ideas?

Whoops!

Erm.. should really pay attention to my own blog. Should set it to my homepage or bookmark it or something.


Anyway. AndroidMTG alpha v0.01a.

Tested on Android 1.6 (Donut).

At the moment, it is a simple application that can search the magiccards.info database and display the first card in the search. It has implemented the logic for rolling dice (as a completely random number and not a true physics logic) and flipping a coin. Also, it is very handy for counting life totals.

UI will be changed. I promised to deliver an alpha. And here it is. Just connect your phone to the computer and use the command "adb install path-to-AndroidMtG.apk". There is a way to install via the sd card, but I am not sure at the moment and I need to go to class in 5 minutes. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to your criticism.

P.S. Don't criticize the UI. This is an alpha. UI can come later. Implementing the useful stuff is more important. And I will release this as a free app on the market for 1.5 and later.

I think this might work better, no waiting: http://www.MegaShare.com/dnd/2062179/eb9967de9d95fe64da381eae72e5f1f4/AndroidMtG.apk
