Cows n Bulls

Have been a great fan of the Cows n Bulls game, ever since I was introduced to it some 12-13 years ago by a close friend of mine. It serves as a perfect time pass and good exercise to hone your analytical skills. But this has almost always needed atleast 2 person, one to guess the number and respond back to your attempts in terms of Cows (right digit at wrong place) and Bulls (right digit at right place).

So many a times while travelling alone, I couldnt really play it all by myself and then I decided to have it built within my mobile phone itself. And thats when I first picked up on J2ME to build a very vanilla version of Cows n Bulls game which I can download and run from my own mobile handset and play whenever needed. So I ended up with 'CnB' and posted the same on www.getjar.com as my first contribution to free mobile games. That was sometime in 2006.

Now with iPhone launched and so much of excitement / buzz / traction on the iOS app marketplace, I couldnt hold myself from developing an iOS port of the same vanilla Cows n Bulls game.

I hope it would soon be approved and made available on the app market place.

cheers.
