Carcassonne Tiles Counter

Post by c00kie »

Hi guys!
I have just published an app for iOs that helps counting tiles in Carcassonne
You can download it on you iPhone or iPad here https://apps.apple.com/ru/app/carcasson ... 1588229016 (also works on Mac)
It is free of charge.

Current features are:
- Create unlimited number of games
- Remove played tiles
- Undo changes if you made a mistake
- Restore any amount of tiles if you discovered mistake later during the game

Thinking of adding expansions or maybe score track. Or maybe add assistant for another game.Not sure.
Will appreciate your feedback.

Hello c00kie,

I do sometimes use your app at the end of a game when I am close to losing and hope to gain a decisive advantage from the complete knowledge of the few remaining cards. Hindering for me are time consuming input and the subjective errors in the input. In any case, I have a few wishes for the app that might find some encouragement:

- If someone does not count from the beginning, the start card should be taken into account. Personally, I consider counting from the beginning to be a disruption to the player's life, as the overview of the frequencies is only slowly lost later on.
- The distinction of crests in some varieties hardly plays a role strategically and tactically. If there were the option to combine the cards that match on the sides as one pile, the piles would be reduced to 19 and it would become clearer than in a mere enumeration of the inventory. In addition, the 19 varieties could be arranged systematically in a table by street side and city side number as has already been done.
- And finally, as a crowning touch, a photo recognition of the remaining cards could ease all the error-prone and annoying typing gestures. Strategy and tactics would not be destroyed by this and something similar might already exist.

Thank you for your app, which has helped professionalise the game.

Before I consider downloading your app, can you tell me is there any practical difference between this app and the following website which has already appeared for some time and can be used on web browser? http://ampli.fi/carcassonne/
