how to use gyroscope to draw

As a player, I can I can climb/go down from one **league** to another as we play the game so that I can **compare my league with other players**.

how to use database & what to put into it

As a user, I can wait the matchmaking to be completed on a waiting page (until all players are ready).

As a user, I at the end I want to see my achievements

At the end of the game the users should see their ranking. The ranking should also be uploaded to firebase.

TODO:

Implement UI for achievements
Calculate the rankings
The stars you earn is the stars other people voted.
Punish people who not vote.

The end game screen should contain the following:

0. Game Over
1. Current league
2. Increase in stars.
3. Display stars.
   4.Ranking fragment.

Check for connectivity in every activity

Create a timer that runs in the server-side (firebase) in order to sychronize players when drawing or in the vote part.

Users should see the pictures that their opponents drew.

As a player, I have to be able to play the game by tilting the phone so that something is drawn on the screen. I can achieve that by using the orientations sensors of the device i.e. the **gyroscope**.

As a user, I want to play in different modes (online/offline)

Save pictures to phone

As a player, I need to register an account using Google to be able to play the game. I can also delete my account or sign out if I wish so. If I have already signed in, I am redirected automatically, on app launch, to the Home.

Synchronize the voting activity with the timer running on server side

as a player, I want to search and find other players, add them to a friends-list and play matches against them. To manage friends, one needs a page to search the playerbase and show current friends.

Design of the waiting page (matchmaking page with selection of words)

• Waiting animation in the center of the screen (rotating stuff ?)
• Player counter on the bottom of the screen
• Background animation (for consistency it should be the same as the home page, thus I have to synchronize it when changing screens, otherwise it would look like a freeze of the app)
• Change transition between home page and waiting page
• Word selection on the top of the screen

Research matchmaking apis

Improve cloud syncing. As a player I can not join a room that is already playing and I can leave anytime I want.

As a user, I can access my profile page by clicking on my nickname displayed on the home page. This profil page has only two features for now: sign out and delete account

Synchronize the beggining of the game between more than one player (2 users as a starting point).

Prevent the user to click on the back button when necessary (DrawingActivity, ecc.)

As a user, I want to vote for the best drawing at the end of the drawing phase

As a user, I can vote on the pictures downloaded from Firebase

Task lists:

1. Store on Firebase Storage the images using an identifier after the drawing phase
2. Download them and store them locally
3. Display them in the voting phase in the same order for every user
4. The star animation should be triggered when any user votes for an image

make sure the game is not disturbed when a player leaves a room or in-game. Handle leaving problems

Bug: double clicking on buttons opens twice the activities

As a player, I can buy extra colors in a shop by using the stars from the game. In order to achieve this one needs a **shop page**.

As a user, I can see statistics of how I perform

As a user I want to be able to se statistics of:

• Matches played
• Matches won
• Matches lost
• Average rating for my pics

As a user, after logging in for the first time, I am redirected to the account creation

This is needed to transition from the login to the home. It is also used by @TillmannPfeiffer for the database.

Choose words page

As I user, I can choose/vote for the word to be drawn in the next phase, so that me and the other players know what to draw.
Time: 5 hours

learn how to add and use fonts

As a user, I can save my best drawings on the local database

As a user I can unlock the eraser tool in drawing mode

As a user, I want to play against the others and vote for the best drawing at the end of the drawing phase, so that the best drawing earns the maximum points. (to split)

We need a script for each room, which takes care of timing the game and handles the voting system.
We need the voting activity too.
