Card play issues / Re: Bluetooth - Different play on each tablet
« Last post by BriJ on February 21, 2015, 05:30:03 PM »
The restriction that both devices must be on the same Release and be set up with identical Bidding Conventions is lifted at Release 4.08.
[For the background to this: Robot bids now originate at the end that starts the Bluetooth connection (the Server).
The other end (the Client) will show hints for robot bids appropriate to the Server Conventions. However Client hints for manual bids are based on Client Bidding Conventions].

Hope this makes sense
;D

General Discussion / Printing your Convention Card
« Last post by BriJ on February 06, 2015, 09:28:06 AM »
BriJ doesn't have a direct way of printing your Convention Card. But if you don't mind delving a bit, there's a way:
  • Using a file manager such as ES File Explorer, find the brijgames folder. This will be at the top level (typically a sdcard folder) alongside the Download, Music, Video, . . . folders
  • In brijgames you will find a file: ConventionFile.html. (You can view this in the HTMLViewer app)
  • Transfer the file to a PC where you will be able to view and print it with Microsoft Word or Internet Explorer
You could instead view ConventionFile.html in your Browser on the tablet using an address of the form file:///sdcard/brijgames/ConventionFile.html . In this case you might be able to print it directly from your phone or tablet.

Latest News on BriJ Releases / Release 4.07 (Pro) is out
« Last post by BriJ on January 31, 2015, 10:59:13 AM »
This release includes a number of enhancements and fixes. They are listed as usual on the Splash screen, but reproduced here for reference:
  • New look card table, showing Dealer (underlined) and clearer Vulnerability
  • Many improvements to bidding: more consistent 'forcing for 1 round' logic; weak 3 opener, doubled, no longer taken as a penalty; other minor fixes
  • Many improvements to playing: plays outright winners when beneficial in any seat (including overtaking when necessary); select partner's suit only when partner was first to lead the suit; continue defender's own suit if no better lead; other minor fixes; more play improvements planned soon
  • Option to show previous bidding and play when running a tournament game or a game you have saved. (This is in beta and only appears in the developer menu)
  • When saving a deal file, Vulnerability now defaults correctly in the 'Save' dialog. Also Dealer is handled correctly for a rotated table
  • BriJ can now read a wider variety of formats used in PBN files created by other software
  • Filename and board identity are now included when you save deal files. This information is also passed from Bluetooth Server to Client so your partner can also identify the hand
  • Space used by STOP and ALERT bids now closes up to fit very long bidding sequences into the playing space available
    When using Bluetooth, the table is now rotated automatically to the default NS positions before connecting. (This may be relaxed at a later release)
  • Honour card denominations are now translated for French-speaking users
  • BriJ Targets that you can request in the 'Aim' tab are now correctly ordered for a rotated table
Release 4 also introduced a choice of 8 bidding styles and 9 optional new conventions.

Hi Brian,
I see your point. Unfortunately there wasn't time to include any significant Bluetooth enhancements in Release 4.07 (just out), but Bluetooth issues are due for review at the next release.

Card play issues / Bluetooth -Can not auto both players
« Last post by brian0775 on January 19, 2015, 08:03:31 PM »
If you lose the bidding and South clicks auto then a robot plays on behalf of South but North's auto button is then disabled and she is forced to play manually

Thus if Brij1 gets a better score than the human players you can not get Brij to show how it did it

Thanks for Brij BTW
These are small niggles about what is basically a brilliant product

In fact both tablets are were using 3.13.2 and are showing default convention cards. You can not change the conventions under 3.13.2 but one of the tablets does have Pro on it

I will watch out for changing Brij2 results and let you know

Card play issues / Re: Bluetooth - Different play on each tablet

Hi Brian,

At present, each player in a Bluetooth link must have identical Convention Cards as well as the same version number of BriJ. There are plans to lift this restriction in a later release. This is posted elsewhere in the forum.

Robot play doesn't currently use random choices for the card to play, though there is good reason to do so and the technique may appear in future (after lifting the above restriction).

BriJ2 scores also depend on the Convention Card (because play is influenced by the bidding), so could differ if conventions aren't identical.

Perhaps you could email bjsoftware42@gmail.com if you can add any detail to the "Brij2 scores change to different values after a few seconds" issue, or any of the other points you've noted?

Thanks for your contribution.
