This app provides scoring for two popular dart games: Cricket and x01 games for two players. The cricket application will track the closing and scoring of numbers for each player. As numbers close they will turn red, as a player starts scoring the number will change the color of the scoring player (blue or green) to indicate the scoring number. The x01 game allows players to configure the game for the favorite variety of this game: 301, 401, 501, 601 or 1001. It also allows double-in and double-out options (must score a double before you can start scoring, and optionally ending the game with a double score). Once configured the game allows the players to enter dart throws as number single, number double or number triples and updates the scores for the players.
