Scribe4

Scribe4 is a logical game developed by Mark Steere.
This is an Android version of the abstract paper-and-pencil game, Scribe, by Mark Steere. I haven't touched this project in years, but there appears to be an active (as of January 2016) fork of it at https://github.com/TodorBalabanov/Scribe4 so you might want to take a look at that.

Check out Mark Steere's website for other implementations, including an actual Scribe board that you can print out. Like, on paper. I know, weird, right?

This app is available in the Android Market

The icon is from DeviantArt user sekkyumu.

Thanks to Stack Overflow members AaronM and RaveDave for the UpsideDownTextView and to Aaron Dalton's SuperDuperGames which is where I first discovered the game.

Please feel free to fork, hack, submit bugs and suggestions, all that good stuff.
