An italian translation for the Android app was made. Please verify the texts for potential errors. The concerned source file is:

Dear developer,

I noticed that, when I enable Battery Saver on Android 8.1, the indeterminate ProgressBars in the app are not properly shown. This is a known problem in Android API level <28, see e.g. this StackOverflow question. Battery Saver disables animations, also on progress bars on these versions. This is quite confusing because the loading state is not properly represented and the icon shown resembles a 'reload' indicator. It is fixed in later Android versions, where progress bars do appear and animate.

Looking at the code, indeterminate progress bars are created here:

className='com.planes.android.LoaderActivity', lineNumber=45
className='com.planes.android.MainActivity', lineNumber=73

To fix this issue, one can check ValueAnimator.areAnimatorsEnabled() and provide a different UI element, such as a text label, when animations are disabled.

I also recorded two videos, showing the issue in practice:

This layout should be similar in functionality with the layout for "Logout" screen. When the user is not logged in it should say that the user is not logged in and the "Delete User" Button should not be active. When the user is logged in the same text indicating that the user had logged in the "Logout" screen should be displayed and the button should be active.

Player should be able to generate more board configurations when editing the planes positions before guessing.

To create a better user experience add play pause controls for the videos in the Video Fragment.

Please translate Android app in spanish.

In the styles.xml file I have defined MyAppTheme which contains all the colors of the Android app.
In the colors.xml I added all colors of the material theme.
Define your own theme distinct from MyAppTheme, such that later the user can switch between themes in the app.

Basically like the board game. My suggestion is to add confirmation or delay so accidental touches could be prevented.

Following implementation of #43, #44 and #45 create an instrumented test for the Delete User functionality. See the example for the Logout Fragment.

The user should be able to choose between a few themes.
The option should be available in the Settings fragment for the single player and multi player settings.
New setting should apply immediately.

Hello. Please translate the following texts in Italian for the Android Planes App:

"New User? Register Here!"

"Long touch to rotate the selected plane."

"The logo of the game, the store graphics and the splash screen illustration were created by Alexandru Vintilescu."

"Reset Board"

"Contributions from GitHub are listed in the GitHub page of the project. "

"Touch on the opponent's board to guess where the opponent's planes are."

Thank you!

Currently in the help section of the PlanesGraphicsScene are links to youtube tutorials. These should play inside the game window in the future.

In the Android app generate plane rotation for long touch event.

Building on Issues #43 and #44 create the Fragment which shows the view for user deletion. This has to be integrated in the navigation from the main page (it should appear only for the multiplayer version of the game).

In the Android app planes should be moved with simple "swipe" like movements.

Allowing players to "flag" or otherwise mark tiles (a la Minesweeper) to denote the location of part of a plane would allow them to better visualise the layout of the enemy on the map, which would help offset what (at times) feels like an abnormally tough opponent. Note that players can (and presumably will) do this already mentally. This is simply to reduce that burden on the player.

On Android, either a long press or a button to toggle the placement of flags would work.
On PC, either a right click (if that's not being used by something, I've not tried it on desktop) or a button to toggle would also work.

(Fun game to pass the time with by the way, cheers)

EDIT: Fixed typo, small readability improvement.

A button "Connect to game" should be shown in the right lower corner of the Login screen. It should be active when a user is logged in.
After successfull Login a snack with the action "Connect to game" should be shown.

In order to create a PlayStore page in turkish I need the following translations:

"Planes Android is a variant of the Battleships game for Android"

"Position your planes on your game board and guess where the computer has hidden its before it guesses where you have hidden yours.

The open-source app is also available for Windows and Linux and is currently translated in english, spanish, german, italian, romanian, polish and turkish.
"

"To see tutorials about how the game is played follow the links"

"To see a preview of the multiplayer version see:"

I wrote the texts myself but as I am no native German speaker I would like to have some feedback about the german texts.
The path to the texts is: app\src\main\res\values-de\strings.txt

The game should allow the customization of the weights of the next move decision algorithm. Additionally it should allow to choose to show the position of a killed plane.

Currently there no tutorial videos for the Android app. The desktop version of the app is presented instead.

Tutorials needed:

• plane positioning tutorial (single player and multiplayer app)
• guessing plane positions
• single player game
• multiplayer game

Tutorial language should be English.

Especially for Windows it will be usefull to use the Qt Installer Framework/CPack to create an installable executabile.

Add the credits, the copyright license and the current release version to a About mini-activity.
When navigating with back the game should revert to the state before calling the mini-activity.
Should look good on tablets and phones as well as in vertical and horizontal layout.

Salut,

Acesta nu este tocmai un issue.

Vroiam doar să-ți mulțumesc că ai implementat jocul ăsta pe Android și că l-ai făcut și open source și l-ai publicat pe F-Droid.

Puțin fac asta. Dacă vrei, poți să adaugi și un link de donații pe F-droid, pentru cei care vor dori să-ți doneze.

Poți închide issue-ul ăsta

A function delete user should be implemented in the MultiplayerRound class. It should use request and response objects like the other retrofit calls.
For an example of connecting to the api for user deletion see in the JavaScript code at
https://xxxcucus.github.io/planes/

I would like to have the possibility to jump from the Login screen directly to the Register screen.
There should be a button in the Login screen with the following text:
"New user? Please register" and by clicking on it one should be redirected to the
Register screen.
Changes should be made to the portrait and landscape layouts for the login.

Show videos from the app to help the users understand the game rules.

When playing if the player and the computer both find the third plane simultaneously, the victory is given to the computer, rather than being recognised as a draw.

Often-times the player and computer can kill each other on the same turn. However, this defaults to a Computer Wins, which is player-unfriendly - contextually, either the player is "playing first" or both are playing at the same time, and thus it should either result in either a Player Wins, or in a Draw. Personally, I find the idea of a Draw more appealing.

Please translate the following text in Turkish:

"Touch on the opponent's board to guess where the opponent's planes are."

Thank you!
