====== Nombers ======

This is a mobile game for Android phones and tablets, which combines Rummy-style gameplay with asynchronous multiplayer as recently made popular by games such as Wordfeud. 
I am currently working on this project in my spare time and am solely responsible for all the programming and artwork in the game.

The server side consists of a [[http://www.python.org/|Python]] service running on an [[http://www.ubuntu.com|Ubuntu]] server with a [[http://www.mongodb.org/|MongoDB]] backend. [[http://mongoengine.org/|MongoEngine]] is used a a middleware layer between Python and MongoDB. The service layer interface is defined and compiled using [[http://thrift.apache.org/|Apache Thrift]], ensuring compatibility and easy portability for any number of client applications.

The Android client app is written using the stock Java-based Android SDK provided by Google, and targets all devices from the oldest T-Mobile G1 with Android 1.6 up to the latest phones and tablets running Android 4. To achieve a consistent yet modern-looking user interface on all supported devices, the app makes use of the [[http://actionbarsherlock.com/|ActionBarSherlock]] library, which adds support for the new action bar and Holo theme to older Android platforms.

The first Beta version was released on the Android Market on March 1st 2012:\\
