ScrabBag

リモートプレーヤーとのゲームを支援するためのタイルとスコアキーパーの仮想バッグ

If you enjoy playing Scrabble with other people who are elsewhere (eg a different town, state, country) but you don't want to play an on-line game, and prefer having a real board, rack and tiles in front of you - then ScrabBag is the companion tool you need.

You will need a real board, rack and set of tiles to play - ScrabBag handles the on-line component of the game.

You place physical tiles on your board as you play, and as you get details (via a photo) of each other players turn, so as to maintain a physical representation of the up to date state of the game.

ScrabBag keeps a virtual 'bag' of tiles from which you can draw letters. The 'bag' is emailed to the other players so that everyone is using the same, up-to-date letters. ScrabBag does this for you.

You take a photo of your board after you have had your go and send it to the other players. ScrabBag does this for you too.

Features:

- ScrabBag keeps track of which letters are drawn and keeps the virtual 'bag' up to date

- Keeps track of scores

- Helps you pick your letters at the start of the game

- Tile distribution is authentic, and tile selection is random

- Other players can not see what letters you have picked

- Nobody can see the contents of the 'bag' of tiles

- The final tile count and scoring once a player has 'gone out' is managed automatically

- Your camera app is automatically opened so that you can take a photo of your 'turn' (ie what letters you have just played and where)

- The photo and the game information ('bag' of tiles, scores, whose turn it is etc) is automatically emailed to all players
