Solo Coding and Android Progress

Posted on by

The move to using Android as a base for justCheckers is going well. I’ve already managed to setup a nice looking user interface. And the information screens work without any problems. All that remains is to build a settings screen and the game screens. This entire project is still a work in progress and so I expect many changes as the project matures.

Another thing I realized is that at the moment I do not need a team of developers to build justcheckers. At least at the moment, I can get more done without worrying about coordinating a team. I might ask for contributions at a later date, but for now I’m going to fly solo.

Behold the Android

Just in case someone thought that this project is dead, I would to disprove them of this. I’ve resumed work on justCheckers with a slight change of direction. Over the past few months, I’ve started work as an Android developer for a media firm and I’d like to apply all that I have learned on this project. By switching over to Android, there are a lot of things that will get simplified. Especially the end product is a lot easier to deploy on Android handsets than on desktops. Does this mean that the desktop version will cease to exist? No. Rather it will be easier to the desktop version, once the existing codebase is refactored. But for now I will concentrate on the Android version, because it is easier, more fun and will easily raise the visibility of the project.
