=================================

This project provides an implementation of the game Ghost as a native Android application (*).

(*) The (minimum) required SDK version is version 14. The targeted SDK version is version 23.

• The game is interactive: two players take turns in adding a letter to the word.
• The game allows the players to select their name from a list of all previously used names.
• The game supports a choice of dictionary: either Dutch or English.
• During game play, the players are allowed to restart the game, and change the language setting (i.e., choice of dictionary).
• The language preference (i.e., choice of dictionary) survives if the players quit and re-open the application (a default language is chosen if no preference is set).
• The game's state survives if the players quit the application or other activities appear above it; players can return to the game and continue playing where they left off, even if the application is quit or the device is turned off.
• The game supports local highscores.

• Go to 'release'.
• Click on 'stable_release'.
• Download the source code as .zip or .tar.gz file.
• Extract the .zip or .tar.gz file to a location of your preference (e.g., your Desktop environment).
• Open Android Studio (if Android Studio is not present on your computer, you can download it from here).
• Under 'Quick Start' select 'Open an existing Android Studio project'.
• Go to the location where you have extracted the .zip or .tar.gz file (e.g., your Desktop environment) and expand the extracted directory (this directory is called 'App-studio-ghost-project-stable_release').
• Within the extracted directory, click on the directory called 'Ghost' (do not expand it, just click on the directory name).
• Click 'OK'.
• Wait for Android Studio to load/build the project.
• Run the application via 'Run' -> 'Run app' (shortcut: shift + F10).

The hand-drawn sketches below depict the complete user experience as initially conceived. The sketches (slightly) diverge from the current user experience, but still provide a good overview of the user experience.
