ScrabBag

Un sac virtuel de tuiles et un marqueur de score pour aider les jeux avec des joueurs distants

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
