Introducing the 'Starcraft 2 Unit Collider'

Post Body

Lately I've been working on a fun app for android, and after a few days and many, many hours, I've finished the very first version! This application will "collide" or battle two units from Starcraft 2 or at least mimic an actual battle within the game with some degree of accuracy, thus allow a user to compare unit interactions from their phone. Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Icantbelievedefaultisexample.nistic.starcraft2unitcollider

One of the most shocking revelations while doing unit testing on this app; a 0-0 cyclone can indeed beat a 2-0 colossus. I had to test it in the unit tester myself to believe it. The HP remaining may vary in the actual game, but will always be consistent in this app. The first attack in this app is instantaneous, whereas in sc2 depending on the unit and position there could be delay. Both units are treated as if they are right next to each other (save the siege tank in siege mode, which will still fire upon melee units, while taking damage).

The application is still in development and I have big plans for it which have yet to be implemented. Eventually there will be 4 modes instead of just the unit vs unit mode. Also all feedback is appreciated. If there was one thing I could request from the community it would be to please not leave a whole bunch of negative feedback on the google play store; if you have a negative feedback to give, please leave it here! This is the first release afterall and I don't expect it to be entirely without bugs or errors.

In fact speaking of bugs, there are some already which I know about and knew about before its release, but were a bit complicated so I will fix them soon:

- Cyclone lock-on vs air units is infinitely long

- Changeling, Auto-turret, Locust, Broodling, Infested Terran exist infinitely long. Similarly, buildings burning wouldn't "live on forever" as the app suggests

- Zerg HP regeneration and Protoss Shield regeneration are not yet factors in this app

I'd love to hear from anyone regarding this, as I'm a programmer, trying to get better, and obviously a huge sc2 fan. Anything from aesthetics to functionality is probably feedback I'd be interested in. I'm also a freelance android developer if you have any work for me I'd be glad to try my best.

Lastly, the app should run on any android device with operating system 8.0 but the layout might be messed up depending on the device. It should display well on the Pixel 1/2, Nexus 5/6, and other high def phones. There should also be an update to fix a small graphical error rolling out within an hour or so.
