The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* Simple Coin Flip (Phone+Wear)

market download Completely FREE (no-ads) and doesn't require any unsafe permissions. Now supports phones and Android Wear watches!

On your phone: Simply tap the question mark or shake and view the result. Tap the coin or shake to spin the coin again.

On your watch: Say "Ok, Google. Start Coin Flip." Tap the question mark to spin the coin.

Spinning coin animation, sound, text, vibration, shake-to-flip and coin type are all configurable via the Settings menu. Verify the flip algorithm is truly random by running the built-in Diagnostic Test and flipping the coin 100,000 times (or more) while watching the results in real-time. (Sorry, no cheating!)

Add new coins from Google Play by clicking Settings -> Get More Coins.
