Advanced features : These great features are available only for donating users.
- Doubling cube
- Resign game or match
- One-tap movement: Tap the checker and it will be moved according the rolled dice.
- Auto Save game on exit: The application automatically saves current match on exit. On the next startup you can select either to load the saved match or start a new one.
- Dynamic touch area adjustment technology: Implementation of this great feature allows much easier way for selecting the checker and the target position. How does it work?
- Without this technology the tapping area for selecting checker is quite narrow and requires very accurate touching.
- In most cases checkers have free position (without checkers of the same color ) in one or both sides. In this situation the touch area for a given checker is expanded to the free side and becomes wider. On positions next to borders there are always free spaces.
- The similar technique is used for defining touch area of the target positions.
- Currently this feature is realized only in Landscape view. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users. Please test it and feel the difference!
- Highlight target positions
- After selecting checker for the movement, the game shows possible target positions according to the rolled dice. The targets are highlighted using green color. In vs.Human mode this feature is available for all users.
- Autoroll. Turning on this feature allows the game to roll dice automatically without waiting you to tap Roll button.

- iPhone or iPod Touch

The goal of the game is to capture all the opposing teams planets. It combines twitch-style reflexive dog fighting with extensive team play and strategy.
When you look at the original client, notice that it has been well maintained but the code has seen no mayor port since 1996 when Robert Temple created an Java version from it.
His object oriented approach is the style will follow for MacTrek as well, though keep a keen eye on the nice C code that the COW boys have written.
