Gaslands vehicle builder. This is my learning Android development app.

GaslandsBuilder

Gaslands vehicle builder.

Gaslands

Gaslands is a tabletop game designed by Mike Hutchinson where one plays with toy cars. For more information head to Gaslands website here. If you would like to ask some questions about the game head to Facebbok

Installation

You may download the app from Google Play.

If you would like to install the app via usb then click here to download the apk.

Features

The app has basic functionality - the user may create a car by choosing its type, add weapons, upgrades, perks and choose sponsor. The overall vehicle cost and build slots is calculated. The user may save the car, view it on main screen. There is also game tracker feature - you choose saved cars that you field in the game and then open game tracker to track its hull points, gear etc.

Known bugs

1. The app resets when the screen is rotated. Fixed by fixed portrait orientation in most activities. Only game tracker and single car viewing is allowed to operate in landscape orientation.

Others

If you would like to download prepopulated database with Gaslands weapons, upgrades and vehicles from this repository then head here. If it helped to reduce the amount of time it would take to populate the database on your own then give this repo a star.

Screens

gaslandsbuilder's Issues

Prison perk not only applying to base vehicle cost

If you add the Warden perk "Prison car" to an IceCream Truck the -4 can rebate is applied to the full build, where it's specified in the rule that the rebate is only applied to the base cost of the vehicle, to a minimum of 5 cans.
Right now, the trucks comes to a cost of 5, but adding a weapon costing 1 can will keep it a 5 where it should cost 6. Rebate should only save 3 cans, applying only to the vehicle cost, not also the weapons.

Current workaround is adding a smoke dropper and ignoring it.

(Really cool app! Used in recent games, saves place on the table)

UI Suggestions

Hope you don't mind that I'm not making separate issues for each item!

• White app bar text is very hard to read over the light green background.
• On my device (Galaxy S7) most text is a bit too small, since the font is harder to read than standard fonts.
• Create vehicle screen slots should have left padding (and same with cost on the Add Upgrade/Weapon screens).
• Dropdown button items should have increased padding so users don't tap the wrong item.
• The Add Weapon/Upgrade selection items scrollbar should take up the whole screen.
• Some text (points cost and weapon mount direction) don't use the custom font, and look a bit out of place.
• Adding more than 2 weapons or more than 4 upgrades hides the rest behind a scrollbar that was hard to find.

Feature Request: Weapon Facing During Play

Since a weapon's facing is not visible while using tracker. I have to leave the tracker to see where the item is installed, causing me to lose the play state.

Functionality Suggestions

• After saving a car, no way to edit it again or view it with bigger text.
• I think deleting a car should show an alert prompting user confirmation.
• After typing a car name and hitting 'Done', the keyboard is not dismissed.
• Number of build slots defaults to max but should be 0, and seems to have issues when switching cars with weapons/gear already equipped. When messing with this the app crashed too.
• I think it would be helpful to have weapon/upgrade descriptions too, and maybe some sort of car health/hazards tracker?

Hope the feedback helps!

Filter by Sponsor

This would help tremendously when picking cars for games.

Duplication of hull and perks

If you add more than six vehicles and scroll to the bottom and to the top again, the first listed vehicles hull and perks gets duplicated create issues for large can games or teams using warden or beverly as sponsor

There are no toggle for fire rule

When a vehicle is on fire, there isn't a way to note it on the sheet.
(clearing hazards should untoggle fire automatically)

I suggest a faint fire icon in a corner that you can tap to enable, lighting it up in red.

Gyrocopter dropped weapons still using build points

The gyrocopter perk is that dropped weapons don't use build points. which isn't the case in this app.

Sponsors Missing

If you could pick a sponsor for a car and have the requisite perks applied, this application would be finished barring any bugs.

New fire token not working correctly.

Thanks for the latest changes! I really appreciate it. But as with every new feature in just about any programs, new bugs appear.

Not sure exactly, but it seems to work fine when enabling fire, and ramping hazards up, then pressing reset, but it seems to break if reducing hazards to 0, which makes the fire turn off. At one point, when playing around with it, the auto off stops working. and have to manually toggle it back off. It may be caused by over pressing the minus button, but I'm not sure. There also may be a problem with cross application to other vehicles. (fire rule toggling on or off to other vehicles when fiddling with another one, but I'm not certain, might be because fire didn't toggle off correctly)

I also suggest making the black fire icon gray like the text.

Issue with vehicle selection for a game when over 8 in the list

When having a list of over 8 vehicles, selecting for example the 9th one, will also select the first.
Everything screws up from there (cans total only counts the last vehicle, deselecting the first one deduces it from the total selected cans, even going in minus numbers)

Had to reduce my list down to 8 to be able to use the app again.
