Hey, BGA community!

I'm excited to share with you a project I've been working on – the Ark Nova Companion App! After spending countless hours enjoying Ark Nova on BGA, I wanted a tool that could enhance my gaming experience and help me keep track of key information effortlessly. So, I spent an afternoon creating this app, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

Features:

Total Income Tracker: Keep tabs on your total income during the break for strategic planning.
Score Tracker: Log your scores using both BGA and Classic scoring methods.
Icons Tracker: Stay organized with an icons tracker to manage game elements efficiently.

Feedback Welcome:
This app is a work in progress, and I'd love your feedback! Try it out and let me know what you think. Have ideas for new features? I'm all ears!

I believe this app can bring more fun and convenience to your Ark Nova gaming sessions. Give it a try and share your thoughts!

Hi DynamicsNinja,

Thank you for the great work! This is amazing and definitely a great help for playing Ark Nova offline.

Awesome - thanks a lot!

It's very good, only problem is that the numbers reset as soon as my phone tries to save battery if I don't keep tapping it.

Definitely a nice addition to an offline game. From a first glance it lacks the ability to save a session (like previously mentioned the battery save resetting the app) and you need to be able to decrease icons as well in an obvious way, I found out that it's decreasing by holding icon just doing random testing

This is awesome! I’ve been using a clunky Google doc, will definitely be switching over!!

If you’re still working on it, I would love to see a way to see opponents’ stats as well, as you would in a BGA game. It would be really helpful for some of the end game goals and strategizing break income.

I don't understand the purpose. You can already see this info when playing Ark Nova in BGA.

There is a new trend to play board games on a real table.

And when you play in real-life, the first thing you do is get out your phone....to try and get an edge on your mates.
