Android port of Hot Death Uno

Hot Death is a variation of the classic card game, Uno.

This is a labor of love for me, as I have enjoyed the original Hot Death Uno for many years. I wish I had more specifics about who invented it, but I first saw it in electronic form in the mid 90s, as a Visual Basic application for Windows. I ported it to Pocket PC in the early 2000s, and now it is here for Android.

App has disappeared from Play Store

Hot Death is no longer available on Google Play.

Please bring it back!

Anmitaions for the card

Having no animations and watching the actions unfold can sometimes be quite overwhelming.
It would be cool to have a some animations for cards being played so we cun understand better actions being played out!

Rare case: Infinite Game Play Loop

I think I came across a rare case of where the round would never end.

The scenario:

• All AIs' skill level is at its lowest
• Three out of four players have 30+ cards on hand (North, West, and South)
• There are no cards available from the draw pile; and only a few cards in the discard pile
• West and South (the player) have been ejected in the following way: South playes Quitter, West plays Retaliation, South plays Virus
• East has the Hot Death Wild Card

Some how, this sets the stage for a round that will never end. Would it be possible to track when the AI plays the same series of cards and just end the round?

Again, this is a rare case and there is no rush to have this resolved any time soon. :)

If there is a way for me to provide the game state JSON string, please let me know. I'll be glad to share it. Not sure where it's stored.

Add option to choose Featurecards to play with

Add option to choose Featurecards to play with in Settings. That allow to learn cards better or allow to remove unwished cards.

Draw a card when you can stack

When you can stack a card (when a toast pops up that tells you how many defensive cards you have), you are able to draw a card. I think this is not allowed in the real game.

Crash when trying to draw a card from empty draw pile

The game will crash when you try to draw a card from an empty draw pile while there is only one card on the discard pile. This is the error log from android studio:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.smorgasbork.hotdeath.Card.toString(android.content.Context, boolean)' on a null object reference
at com.smorgasbork.hotdeath.Game.cardToString(Game.java:2229)
at com.smorgasbork.hotdeath.Game.advanceRound(Game.java:1015)
at com.smorgasbork.hotdeath.Game.runRound(Game.java:798)
at com.smorgasbork.hotdeath.Game.run(Game.java:823)

Another error is, that two AI players will continue playing forever if all cards are on their hands. Both errors happen because of the combination of "Mystery Wild" and "69" card (when a player has to draw 69 cards).

Scroll List changes position on Device Rotation
