The first reason was validating the data, the check for the same exact data display on both platforms was an easy confirmation that this works on Windows and Android.

The main goal was to gain experience in creating an application that was truly cross platform. There are no missing or watered down features when going from laptop to phone, it is line by line the same code!

And with the ability to view both programs running side by side, I can now view both classifier AND follower data at the same time!

So, with another opportunity for a coding day, I was taking notes since it worked on possible changes, mostly in UI appearance... nothing major, the biggest thing will be centering the game select buttons on the screen, a one line fix in the game_select.kv file.

Then I can start planning the most massive back test ever on the Markov Chain Follower part... once I see how it would have done, and find hints on how to better interpret the data, I can apply directly the concepts to the idea of vertical sums in pick N games. If there is anything to the vertical sums concept, it can be added as a new function right in the framework!

Those are the first 2 coding goals now that my entire 2026 plan was completed so early. If any ideas come up for how to better apply back testing to the classifications, that will be figured out and built as well. Also going to add jackpot games to back testing, that is new as well.

Now I have a clean work flow for projects... start on windows where debugging is so much faster, then port to Android where it becomes an instance of building from the working windows blueprint.

But tonight, after the evening draw, I will run the app for updates on the phone, and generate the pick for the first week of the pick 5 cycle... no laptop required!
