Hmmmm. I will try to do a better job of notifying everyone next time. On my end it says "email sent" next to everyone's name.

Doesn't really matter. 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 had no AI changes and 1.1.4 was approved so quickly, I don't think anyone would have had the chance to catch this bug.

Interesting, I stopped getting emails from the test flight app, so I haven't been updating the beta even though you've released new versions.


At least y'all have that app. I haven't been able to get around to it, who knows what beta version I'm on

You are on testflightapp, right? So much easier to update your beta over the air than syncing through iTunes.

My update came through today. I'll let you know if it happens again. iPhone yes.

Love the app by the way. Play for at least an hour if not more a day! I've skunked the computer several times!

Mav,

If you are playing that much, then you totally need to sign up as a beta tester.

Nope, I'll have to dig through and try and find your email about the instructions. Hopefully I still have it. And I blame school for my lack of beta participation as of late, I have had at least one test (sometimes more) a week for the past 5 weeks so free time is kinda at a premium right now. I'll try and get around to it Thursday night after I'm done with my test for this week.

Go to testflightapp.com.
Sign up and register your device.
Install app.

Easy as that.

I'm set up on testflight. Let me know how to get the beta.

You need to email me your UDID. Once I have that, I can grant you access to the beta.

The easiest way to get it is to download UDID+ or some other free app in the app store and email the results to

maroonentertainment@gmail.com

This goes to anyone who wants to be a beta tester.

Has anyone seen a 2 mark bid go through since 1.1.5 was released?

I found an interesting bug. While drawing to see who shakes first, I tied with two other players. We drew again and I had the lowest domino and the other two players tied again. However, all three of us were forced to draw again even though I didn't tie. I once again drew the lowest and the other two tied...again. All three of us were forced to draw....again. Finally I pulled the 6-6 and the other two didn't tie, so I "won" the mix.

Damn you for not picking the high tile the first time.

Just bought the app yesterday. I like it. I haven't played it enough yet to make any suggestions. Will give it a week or so and come back.

I still haven't been able to narrow it down but version 1.1.5 still crashes on the ipad 3 with the same memory issue.

Is this the 2 mark thing or some other crash?
trueaggie2782

I think I bid 2 marks when it happened
Philip J Fry

Hmmmm.

Was able to reproduce the crash in beta testing...

Was able to verify the fix worked in beta testing...

Jay just bid 2 marks for me and everything worked just like it should.

I'd be curious to hear if anyone else has had crashes on the iPad.

Just bought the app yesterday, and all I have to say is great job, this is a hell of a lot better than any other 42 app. My only suggestion would be to add follow me, doubles low. I would have had a lay over 2 mark hand if it had that. Again, thanks for making this app!

Great news! Just finished my first game of 4-person multiplayer!

Still have a few things that I need to take care of first before it goes into beta testing, but the game can now do 2-4 players.

The game is great but I think the ai needs work when it comes to nello. Fry kept leading the same thing ( sixes) three times in a row even though I didn't have any.

Blah. No doubt. The players are suppose to know when you run out of a particular suit. I'll add this to my list once I venture back into the AI realm.

Hubby and I both can't stop playing this! Can't wait for the multiple player app. Great job!

Ok...when can I get multiplayer for iPad?

I will probably stop playing nello in single player. The ai had the lead (doubles high) and kept leading doubles!

I don't know. It will be a while before I can get back to coding.

Btw, The straight 42 ai is very impressive.

Now start coding! Please

Dude, bad timing in bumping this thread, sh** will be here when it gets here, quit pushing him. Again sorry for your loss PJF, don't worry about any 42 stuff for awhile.

It's okay. I don't recall pencil being a football regular.

Once I get my dad's affairs in order, I'll be taking extended leave from work. I plan on coding the hell out of the day to keep myself busy.

Just came across this thread, didn't read the entire thing, only the 1st page. bought the app and look forward to playing with it this weekend. Its been a while (multiple years) since I played 42 and am looking forward to getting back into it.

I know that you are working on the AI, but after playing nearly 10-15 games per day, I have some worries. I started playing face up to test my theories. First, it seems that the piece of code that randomizes the dominos during the deal plays favorites to Phillip and Fry. What I mean is that 90%+ of the time, our opponents receive multiple doubles along with 3-4 of a high trump suit whilst Jay and I continue to receive shotty hands. Next, it appears as though the computer opponents know exactly what is in everybody's hand. They will have a couple offs and just happen to continuously throw the off that their opponent has the double of. Even when logically the off shouldn't be thrown, they will throw it "knowing" that their opponent will catch it. I know it's next to impossible for the computer not to know because of the number memory, but it seems way to obvious.

With that said, I know you are working on multiplayer instead of AI at this point but I worry that there won't consistently be enough players for the multiplayer to work. Also, if you have fewer than 4 real players, will it be set up to where an AI player takes one or more positions. If that's the case, I would think the AI should be up to par before multiplayer.

I still think this is an awesome app, but I just wanted to voice concerns. Because we are just communicating in text, it may come off that I'm trying to be an @$$, but I am just legitimately trying to help.
