Age of Empires 2 was and still is an amazing game. The taunts you could send to you friends through the chat made it even better.
Now with Aoe2 Taunts you can use the taunts anytime you have your smartphone with you! Just use the .apk-file in the git repository and you'll have the prettiest and easiest to use AoE2 taunt app available!
If you dont want to install a random .apk file from the internet (like a madman) you can clone the repo and check the source code yourself.

The app is written in Java and is quite flexible, you could replace the button icons and sound files in the drawable and raw folder and it will run.

The layout file is simply a TableLayout that gets populated with as many icons as you want.
Icons and sound files are matched together using a simple naming system, name+number.ending, for example "its_good17.png" and its_good17.ogg. When loaded the icons will be ordered by the number.

Future?

I'm currently continuing the work on this app with the purpose of making it a chat app. Using Firebase Database as a database, the idea is to connect multiple users to a "chatroom". Once a user has created a chatroom others can join via a shared link and when you press an icon on your phone, your friends will hear the sound bites. An appropriate cool down between each button press is probably a good idea.
When the last user disconnects from the Firebase database the chatroom can be deleted to keep the size down as much as possible.
