Benefits for game developers for using Playrock Platform:
1. Multiplayer gameplay: you don’t need to invest in a costly development for changing the gameplay of Morris Variants for allowing your players to play together against each other in local or personal virtual spaces. Playrock takes care of that.
2. Players matching: Playrock has local and personal players matching. Our spaces naturally match a small group of players together in an intimate setting. Your users will be able to find other players who are close to them or easily connect with their friends in a private setting.
3. Dynamic game mechanics: you can enhance your game mechanics based on the space from where your players initiate the game. You can dynamically customize your game based on the category of the space, the roles of the players or even based the users who are currently inside that space, making your game more unique and engaging experience to users.
4. Local exposure: Once users start adding your game to their spaces, you can quickly gain more and more local exposure, substantially lowering your customer acquisition costs. This exposure can grow into global exposure in no time. It all depends on how you use Playrock spaces for enhancing the experience for your users.
5. Playrock analytics: You will be able to learn who is sharing your game, which types of spaces your game is included and where. This will help you to know your users and adjust your game accordingly to increase its popularity.

Card games? - not bad
Hello everyone,
I would like to present you my new mobile game.
Google Play Store URL: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logigames.tictactoe
Because of the simplicity of Tic-Tac-Toe, it is often used as a pedagogical tool for teaching the branch of AI that deals with the searching of game trees.
I know that there are thousands of Tic Tac Toe games on the Google Play Store, but there can always be one better. This is my implementation, with the unique feature of timed play and an AI that plays a perfect game.
As it's impossible to win a game against the AI player, your goal is to have a long 'draw streak' while making your moves as fast as you can.
The unique feature of my game is that your time to move is measured, and at the end you can see your average move time and then try to improve it.
To reduce the repetition of games, the AI always plays first with a random move.
This makes it much harder for you to make a draw and it's less boring.
A cool feature is also the multiplayer mode using the Nearby Connections API. Two nearby players can connect over Bluetooth or WiFi to play.
It displays ads, but they are fewer and less intrusive than what the majority of free Android games do.
Around 1.5 years back, me and my friends participated in a hackathon where we made an AR based 1v1 shooter game using ARCore and on device MLKit. The game was very well received by everyone and I am happy to release the game after polishing it out a bit.
AR-GO is an augmented reality based interactive 1v1 realtime shooter where two players create an arena in real world and engage in shootout to eliminate the opponent.
Play store link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tosc.argo
AR-GO needs another player around you in the same world environment. Both players place objects in the same 3D world between them. The AR world is created such as to allow players to hide behind objects. Both players can strategically place objects and the objects are synced between both the players.
The demo video around gameplay and source is available here - https://devfolio.co/submissions/player-known-battle-grounds
The source is for the hackathon version and don't expect the code to be of high quality. The play store version's code is not open source but most of the critical parts are there on the Github
Regarding the implementation side - The game is based on Cloud anchors (https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/java/cloud-anchors/overview-android). The AR world is synced between the players and then we use MLKit to detect face hit or normal body **** in realtime on device. and communications between devices is done using Firebase realtime database. (The overall latency between shooting on one device to registering on another device is around 100ms)
The play store version is paid since the underlying APIs have quotas and are expensive. An apk is available below for xda members below. (The raw apk is quite big due to tensorflow libs and 25mb of ML model stored in the apk, play store version is around 40mb due to app bundles).

I am planning to add some more game modes and possible different gun types. Looking forward for the feedback!
