Gluon Contest

This app is written as a test to evaluate the features and ease of writing cross-platform applications in JavaFX for mobile devices. It has been submitted for the Gluon App Contest. It is available in Google Play, but currently not in the App Store since I'm not enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.
