0.1

• Spawn animals and let them have an effect
• pick up/drop animals at nests

• Make notifications (app not active) or dialogs (app active) from GCM messages from server
• Handle back pressed on register/validate device dialog

• Really stable network handling
• Setting for notifications, device specific
• Let food in inventory slowly turn bad
• Display the expire on items in inventory (i.e. animals - how long until they die)
• Warriors in inventory eat from food in inventory, and start to starve if they run out of food. No Limit on number of warriors in inventory.
• Warriors dropped on ground slowly die

• Filters/sort on nests view
• Chat - one public and one for each species
• Good images for items
• Good images for actions
• Good launcher image
• Up-to-date screen shots and decent info in google play

ALL data will be reset.

Web service

Independent of the app. Contact me if you want to build it. I can give you read access on suitable data.

• Displaying current score for world, all countries, all regions and player list
• Displaying historic score for world, all countries and all regions

1.1

• Focus on text input in set name dialog
• 30/30 to be able to swarm (but it still only takes 20/20)
• Display entered info from other players in a user dialog
• More types of animals (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insectivore)
  • Ability to move big animals by scaring them (they can not be picked up)
• Required name on nest (colonize/gain control)
• Bugfix: Item on ground-dialog not updating distance on location change
• Show colony name in colony orders dialog
• Sort colonies by distance
• Show more info in controlled colony list (ants/food/capacity)
• Inventory list: Show how "full" you are of that item (i.e. your capacity too)

1.x

• Scroll on map stops follow mode. Normally follow but stop when user drags the map and return to follow when user presses my location.... or whatever works
• Make better notifications when app is not active, not just a dummy
• Competition, among overlapping nest zoc, for food.
• More types of animals (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insectivore)
• Ability to do fine adjustments on colony orders with + and -
• Some kind of simplifications to set many colony orders.
