Overview:
Blokus board game : an open-source Android implementation of the popular game. Smooth Drag & Drop user interface.
Blokus is a family game involving four players and a board with 20 x 20 squares. Like chess or checkers, it’s a game for which at any time you can see your opponent’s pieces.
The software do not have unobtrusive banner advertising.
Once installed, you can play offline.
Each player starts with 21 pieces : 1 monomino, 1 domono, 2 triominos, 5 tetraminos and 12 pentaminos. It may recall you the Tetris polyominos…
“For first round, I must place a piece so that it touches one of the corners of the board”
“Next, a piece must be placed so that it touches a corner of one of my own pieces.
It may touch several corners, but never any side/edge of my pieces!” Look at screenshots or at the video.
The game has a nice and natural User Interface : just Drag & Drop the piece with the finger. Rotate a piece likewise.
You can FLIP a piece to its mirror position with a long-press gesture.
“If a cannot place any more piece I pass my turn.”
You can see opponent’s remaining pieces, by pressing corresponding tab.
The end of the game is reached when every player passes.
“My score is : addition of the squares of the pieces I placed”.
Refer to ’Menu > Help’ inside the app. With several screenshots.
You can safely quit at any time : your current game will be restored on next startup.
You play against the machine. You can configure the level of corresponding Artificial Intelligence : 4 levels. Refer to Menu > Preferences
TO PLAY AGAINST A FRIEND, you can disable AI. Go to Menu > Preferences. Later use the 4 tabs at the bottom to select next player.
The game is free. And even more : the code is open-source, License GPL v3. Get the code at http://github.com/scoutant.
