Picture Play

Photo guessing and drawing game with sharing between friends and family, or solo

Picture Play is a photo guessing game where you receive a scrambled picture (somewhat like a jigsaw puzzle), that also has sharing photos features with friends and family, or can be played solo. It has several different parts; the first part is a photo guessing game where a friend or family member sends a photo to another member with a text description attached. The recipient sees the photo with the description scrambled and the image scrambled. The first part is unscrambling the image like a jigsaw puzzle, then guess the image description by unscrambling the letters. A running score adds correct letter guesses and subtracts for incorrect guesses. After the guessing is complete, the receiver has the option to send a reply to the sender, commenting on the image or description, and have a conversation. This differs from many existing apps in that, in addition to built-in photos, you can also receive photos from friends and family, and send your own photos. You send your own photos from your phone's camera or gallery to friends and family. It's a great way to share pictures and make a game of it at the same time. You can also draw on your photos before sending, or create a drawing from scratch.

There is also a solo mode where you can select from many beautiful and interesting photos to download and guess what they are. You can even add you own photos to the public list, but this is entirely optional.

Another feature is the ability to send a photo privately, which cannot be saved by the recipient, and will be automatically deleted after a being seen for a few seconds.

Picture Play works on Android version 4.0 and later, including smartphones, tablets, and many Kindles. The app needs a WiFi or 3G/4G connection to run.

The drawing module includes an open source color picker under the Apache 2.0 license. It is HSV-Alpha Color Picker by Marin Stone.

Additional conversation, drawing, and game features will be added later.
