Scolkky
A dedicated Mölkky scorer that handles exact-50, overshoots and misses automatically.
The project
Scolkky is a streamlined scorekeeper for Mölkky, the Finnish throwing game played with twelve numbered wooden pins.
Rather than asking players to calculate a score before entering it, the app is designed around the actual game. A single fallen pin scores the number printed on it, while knocking down several pins scores the number of pins instead. The app then maintains the running totals and applies the key game rules automatically.
That includes the exact-50 finish, dropping a player back to 25 after an overshoot, and tracking scoreless throws toward the three-miss elimination rule.

Engineering focus
A focused rules-engine project where the UI mirrors the physical game rather than exposing the underlying arithmetic to the player.
