Dragon Go Server Android Client

[mdobbins]

anDGS is an Android client for the Dragon Go Server at dragongoserver.net and a local game recorder/editor.

Version 1.20 updates include:
- Restructure client for future expansion
- Added Notifier Service
- sound and interval options in preferences
- turn on and off via menu button
- activate client from notification
- continues independently of the client
- Added a actionable status inquiry button
- Click on a game to make a move in that specific game
- Click on a message to see the text in the message (dismisses from status)
- auto play preference to automatically cycle though games and messages when running client
- full message contents are displayed during the "Check for moves" cycle.

If you like and use this client with DGS, please put that you are a user of the andDGS client in your DGS Bio.

Version 1.21 update

- You are now able to make the first move and move after pass moves; with pass and resign in version 1.20, this implements the complete game play except invitations and scoring.
- Game info is displayed in a new menu button (better labels in the future)
- A new vibrate option for the waiting game notifier.
- the back button should work better in the various client views
- fixed a bug in the "check for moves" sequencing that sometimes left you at the main client view when more games or messages are waiting.
- selecting a game or message from the status view will now return to the status view when done instead of the main client view to allow faster arbitrary sequence access.

This is all of the DGS client features I plan to do until the new DGS client interface is released by the DGS developers. I will continue to do bug fixes and minor modifications and I expect some translation updates. I may also add some more standalone features to the local game editor.

Thank you to the users who have given me feedback. Your suggestions have helped guide me through the various releases.

Great application!
I've been using it on my Acer betouch E110 for about a month and it works just fine.

The only inconvenience for me is that the button 'submit' button is too small on my screen while the field for entering a comment is too large, so i keep hitting it instead of 'submit'.

Let me know if version 1.26 is better for you.

I'm running v1.23. I would appreciate if someone could provide me with a new version of the apk file as the market is not accessible from my device.

PM me an email address.

I have a couple of requests like this so I will maintain a mailing list for people without market access to get the apk.

Installed v1.26, seems that my problem has been solved!
Now when i hit the 'comments' field it doesn't pop up, so i can hit the 'submit' and 'skip' with no worry to touch the 'comments' field

anDGS is available in the Android Marketplace. If you don't have access to the market place private message your email address to me and I will send it to you and add you to the list for future updates

Recent changes:

version 1.26

This release focuses on the sgf recorder/editor. anDGS should be a useful study tool, you just have to supply your own library of sgf games or sgf problems.

- The auto play feature will allow you to automatically sequence through a single game record or all the game/problem sgf files in a directory and still have control to skip forward or backward while it sequencing.

- The editor now supports arbitrary label properties as will as the standard markup symbols. The editor markup mode lets to add, delete or modify the labels or markup symbols on a move. You can now see the markup that many annotated sgf files contain.

version 1.27

This release extends editor features by adding support for sgf properties: add empty, add white and add black in markup mode. This will allow the creation/modification of diagrams and problems.
