Description

An application for (soon) tracking board games.

Currently gets games and linked item lists (categories, mechanics, family), and information from BoardGameGeek.

Allows the user to search for a game by name, which returns a list, and can view details for any of the games on the list, both using the official XML API 2. The user may also access linked item lists for category, mechanics, and family, the call for which is made to BGG's internal API.

Fetches from BGG XML API2, and BGG's internal API, for demonstration purposes only.
