Renege Penalties and Awards. This is my first attempt at handling reneging rules. The rule I always played by was if someone reneged and didn't correct it by the time the trick was removed from the table that team loses if they get caught. You can mark a team or player as having reneged (mark them again to unmark them) any player marked loses 50 points and any player unmarked gains 50 points (configurable amounts). It's still a little awkward but the scores are correct and also I'm sure not everyone plays by these rules so please leave a comment on the blog (sykosoft.net) describing the rules you play by.

Scoring can now be done from with the declarer's or the defender's perspective. Try that out to see what I mean.

For Call Partner there is now an option to track which cards have been called. (playing call partner with 6 players is kind of cramped on the screen, I'll try to get landscape mode in the next version)

Stability fixes

New Features:

Able to play with 4 players (2 teams of 2) or 6 players (2 teams of 3)

Added Call Partner Rook Rule. When there are 4 players you choose one partner when scoring and when there are 6 players you choose two partners (may be the same)

Fixed a bunch of minor bugs that I found while adding these features

Some user interface features on the scorecard itself have been moved a little to better accommodate 6 players (as best I could)

Removed original "Full" bidding interface (instead of upgrading it for 6 player support, will think about adding it back if requested), only the "Simple" interface remains

You can only change the rules of a game before a game is started (this is a requirement for many reasons and now finally enforced)

Bug Fixes

Removed global preferences, each game now stores the preferences set when the game starts for it's own use.

Corrected an error that selected the wrong dealer.

Added "Simple" bidding. Just select the Bid, Declarer and Trump.

Added Undo button to top left to supplement the swipe to undo.

Added descriptions for some of the preferences.

Bug Fixes

A few bug fixes.

Now you can save a game and resume it later. This allows you to play multiple games at once.

Added feature to change the point value of the Baby Bird. I've always played with 1's and with the Red 2 being the "baby bird" worth 20 points. It came to my attention that some people play without 1's and use the Red 1, worth 30 points, as a higher trump than the Rook. The points are now customizable. But you can't use the Red 2 and the Red 1 at the same time. Email the support address if this is a feature you'd like (or for other feature requests).

This is a redone version. It has a new look, easier controls, more informative.

Allows names to be entered by the keyboard or from the contacts list

Very important bug fixes. Plus, you can now undo the previous scoring and bidding to correct mistakes. Added options to the player select screen to pick whether or not 1's are worth 15 points and if you are using the 'baby bird' in the game you're about to play. When the baby bird is used there are 20 more points in the game. Also, when the 1's are used there are 60 more points in the game and the minimum bid is 85 ( some play 90, just ignore the 85 :) )
