Dear FranAvalon & the Botarena developers,

Thank you guys sincerely for your hard work on this program. It is astounding how much such a small but talented team such as yours can achieve. I eagerly anticipate every coming release.

Honestly, I'm no expert, but I've tried several other computer Magic programs available on this site as well as the "professionally made" Duel of the Planeswalkers, and Botarena beats them all by quite a margin, especially in terms of expansiveness and A.I. intelligence.

In light of this, I can't imagine why you can't get more volunteers to help out with this great program. One would imagine that if all the developers out there pool their resources and efforts together to make one full-fledged complete program, it would be better than 3-4 works in progress with each one missing feature X or Y that the other has. But then again, I know next to nothing about computer programming, so maybe that's harder to do than I imagine.

Anyways, keep up the amazing work and thank you again.

Sincerely,
Araiwah

You are welcomed Araiwah

I hope that you enjoy BA as we enjoy with it. All credits for this awesome AI (IMHO) goes for battlestar, who started this amazing app. We continue his project improving it, adding more cards, new features and doing a lot of bug fixing.

Some of us think as you, too many magic projects, but is very hard abandon your own project to join to another one, specially when you've expent a lot of hours on it. So, we are a small team, but we are working slowly but tireless on our own project to bring new releases to you

Maybe you don't have coding knowlegde, but you can colaborate with us playing BA and reporting all bugs that you found.

Thanks for your comments

Enjoy
Fran

Hooray!

[FranAvalon]

In light of this, I can't imagine why you can't get more volunteers to help out with this great program. One would imagine that if all the developers out there pool their resources and efforts together to make one full-fledged complete program, it would be better than 3-4 works in progress with each one missing feature X or Y that the other has.

I think in the future this will happen. Eventually all these games and apps will be modular enough that one super project can be created without (too) much trouble.

For now though, we have no choice but to say vive la différence.
