Good, but a ways to go...
This is by far the best Shelem app to date. Looks good, and has overall good play.
Before I can truly enjoy this app, though, some fixes need to happen with the AI:
1. The dealing isnt truly random. Ive gotten 6 of a kind almost every hand after many games, which has never yet happened playing with friends in person. This makes the distribution of cards really odd every hand, which isnt realistic.
2. The partners make silly mistakes all the time. Playing the Ace before knowing which suit is being cut. Cutting partner when partner is winning the hand, then running out of trump, letting the other team win the hand for no reason. Pulling trump when the opposing team obviously doesnt have trump. Stuff like that...
One last thing is selecting cards to discard. Ive chosen a low card to discard, to have the Ace of the next suit going into the discard pile because the cards are too close or a glitch makes it select it for some reason.
It would also be nice to choose "house rules, to let players around the world the option to play like they do in their area as far as points are concerned. Where I live, getting all books is worth 300, and the two teams split 180 points, however they get won.
So, this is a great start, but I will only recommend it to others once the major things mentioned get fixed.
