CORDIAL MINUET ENSEMBLE

Well, jason's basically written the code and makefiles to choose platform specific libraries at compile time. OpenGL does the draws and dumps them into SDL 1.2. With the included macro to use GL-ES(which is supported by android), I'd just have to convert the SDL 1.2 code to SDL2, then take care of little quirky things.

Well, ideally, the game wouldn't have to be reprogrammed. The NDK allows native code (c/cpp) to run inside a java wrapper. I think it's really just a matter of translating the makefile from the linux build to an android makefile.

The new Android Studio IDE(cuz terminal compilation/building for android is a nightmare) allows for emulator testing, and I have a few spare devices as well. If it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, getting a single (Linux-geared) makefile that would run from the location where runToBuild is in the source would definitely be useful.

As far as Google is concerned, the app store is mostly host-first-ask-questions-later. But I know that they refuse to host the Illinois Lotto app. Otherwise there are also GPL app-stores that would probably take it, so there are still platforms for distribution.

What a guy!

When I first saw the game board, I immediately likened it to Sudoku. But I'd wondered why the number system wasn't more like that. With columns/rows numbered 1-6. Would that not also solve the issue?

Edit:
Plus then hitting triple 6's would be a guaranteed win or very rare tie

Game length in seconds could be deceiving, but would probably average out over a large number of games. Maybe measure rate of investment?

Also, with Starcraft, tens(hundreds?) of thousands of active players seeking wildly different modes of gameplay warrant those modes of gameplay. I think further down the road separate lobbies for game modes could be a great option for CM, but only once the community's at the point where I can drop in and immediately find a few games in my budget range.

Sounds like a plan! Small request, since it's Elo based, can we get a tourney leaderboard set up so we can check where we're at mid-tournament?

Haha, congrats!

Nate, do you have a download of it anywhere? I dabble in programming. Looking over Jason's source has actually influenced some of the stuff I've been doing over the past week. But even if not source, I'd just be curious to see it too

I just realized, leaving first-round only leaves you with a net loss of one coin. Finishing the round just to see, then quitting (be it, not wanting to play or bad picks), would potentially lose two coins. One to the lost round, one to house for leaving early. Right?

Originally, I had deposited a bit of extra money when I saw judge doorman show up. Saw a few $50 games and a brand new wallet leader? Figured what some of us might: fish. Got in, threw down, lost all the money I dropped in. Checked the leaderboards later, doorman was still at $47X.XX, and I was playing against one of the elo leaders! Shit! Lesson learned here as well

Well, I might make a guess that quitting the game, hosting a new one and hoping for another player might take longer in the end.

And having an auto-fold option seems a bit premature. You could hit the nuts on a 36 and 35 (netting you a solid 72), you won't know until that second turn, and by that time, it's probably going to be faster to just wait the round out and you still got to make sure that it was indeed a bad round.

Bots can be made for any kind of software. Unless the game was only distributed as binaries and every move made required a captcha, it's impossible to stop.
