Android Pokerzee Released

Posted: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 4:17:56 PM | 3184 Views

With the release of the Android application store I've released my first application titled Pokerzee. The game is based off Yarhci, which in turn was based off of the traditional Yahtzee game.

I was first exposed to the game by my wifes parents who brought a set of dice with playing cards on them instead of numbers, and after playing a night or two thought it might be a fun thing to write for a portable to take along.

To give players more of a goal I added online scoring so you can compare your scores and always have someone to try and beat.

Since this is my first second application for the Android platform I'll work hard to fix any issues and make updates based on feedback from users. I hope the game is a simple fun diversion and you enjoy playing it on the go.

Hi,

I love your Pokerzee game! However, it does not work with the latest HTC builds. Specifically, the app force closes whenever the High Scores activity is started. I have attached an adb logcat with hopes that you will have a simple fix:

I/ActivityManager( 131): Displayed activity com.stonedonkey.pokerzee/.ActivityPokerzee: 1227 ms

Well, the form will not accept the full paste for some reason. I tried your e-mail form on this site, but that doesn't work either. Let me know if you are interested in the logcat output: edclark@umn.edu
