It finally works! My first Android application - the 7th Sea dice roller that I've been going on about for a while and that has seen simultaneous development as a Java applet - is up and running. It's not available online yet, but depending on how confident I feel (and if I can convince anyone to be part of a beta test) I might end up forking out the $25 to sign up for Google's Android Marketplace and set it out in the real world.
The UI on the Android app is considerably nicer than the UI on the Java applet. I think I might need a little bit more practice using the Swing controls.
More detail will follow, when I'm not shattered :-)

An applet is born
Having found a pretty useful little article on the deployment of applets the other day, I promoted by 7th Sea dice roller up the priority ratings as an experiment to see what they can do. So there's now an unlinked page on my regular site which I'll be using as a sandbox (here) to test them. The current applet is a little crude, but serves to demonstrate that it works.
The next steps will be to implement the option to change the number of dice that are kept on a roll, and to set up the other options mentioned on the dice roller development page.
(The article is here, and I found it very useful, even if it is a little old!)
