Just to let you know, there was a previous post about promoting one's game which didnt go down too well with one of the admin's.

Is there any legal issue if someone post his/her own development application in the forum? Could you describe a bit more?

[ViruDoshi]

I dont know about legal implications, though i shouldnt think there would be; I was referring to this post:

According to your mentioned link, Nokia Ron said

"This forum is for helping developers, I will consider creating a thread to showcase games or other applications. Until then do not post such links until then."

We have developed this game from top to bottom and we must be interested to hear about other developer comments, feelings, bug reports and anything they want. This is how a developer (in this case me) will be inspired and develop more freeware application in future. Of course testing and bug reporting of the game was another purpose to submit the game. Isn’t it the way to help a developer?

The thread of your given link has no relevance with mine, I think.

Apologies, I misread your first post, didnt realise you wanted testing too. Thought you were just promoting your game.

I'll test your game now, not in the 'work' mood yet Perhaps you'll sign up to test my app!

Ok, here's my feedback;

Installed on a Nokia 7610 Ver. 4.04037.4
No installation problems.
Nice simple animated splash screen.

Played against the computer, got my butt whooped!
Clean interface, easy navigation. Help section is helpful and explains well, didnt spot any spelling errors.
Unfortunately i dont have another S60 device so couldnt test the 2-player functionality.

What I would like to see;
- Clearly the phone's AI uses logic to decide where to put its 'cross' so perhaps a similar thing can be done for the user to give hints, perhaps highlight a maximum of 5 best moves or something like that.
- 2 Players could also use the same phone, so a local 2-player option may be a good thing.
- Is the computer always crosses? I would give the player choice of piece.

Overall, nice, clean and straightforward.

Thanks a lot! Your comments will be considered for the next version of the game. Hopefully other developers will test it and make some comments!
