Here is my entry for the 2012 Meego Coding Competition. I hope after all the effort it doesnt turn out to be a flop!

If you like this, please vote for it in the Maemo Coding Competition!

About
The game is an implementation of the Square-It/Dots-Dashed/Squares game you may have played with pencil and paper as a child. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-it.

The aim is to 'own' the most squares on the board by drawing lines between adjacent dots.

There are 2 modes of play:

• 2 players on one phone
• 2 players over the internet

When playing on one phone, each player takes turns, and the board says whos turn it is.

When playing over the internet, a player cannot make a move if it is not their turn.

To play online, you must set up an account with an email address, any invites you receive will be shown in the 'Existing Internet Games' dialog.

Played the Local Game setting and it works great piggz

If anyone is wondering, this is (currently) for Harmattan (N9/N950)

ATM ... the ultimate goal is to support anything with Qt...Symbian, Android, Playbook ... maybe even iOS

Updated to version 0.0.3. The only changes are an icon, and a new dialog for server messages, which stay visible until Ok'd.

Good start would be to support Fremantle and Mer+Nemo, as it's 2012 Coding Competition, *not* 2012 Meego Coding Competition (which would suggest Mer more than Harmattan, anyway).

Just a suggestion.

Fair point, i'll see what i can do.

Ive updated the server to detect who wins the game and sets the game state appropriately. No update the the client is needed. Also added a todo item to make the email addresses case insensitive.

Updated to 0.0.4 which has better layout on the 'Exisitng Internet Games' screen, and better colouring...green means the game is waiting for you. Also updated the server to make email addresses case-insensitive.

Added screenshots

Added download for N900 (Maemo 5 Fremantle). This is pretty much identical to version 0.0.4 on N9, except with the addition of an exit button on the main menu. Please report any packaging problems, it works fine for me, it probably requires qjson and qt-components-10.
