Ludo

Ludo by Sidhant is a compact Flutter implementation of the traditional cross-and-circle board game. Everything happens on one device. Before each match, choose how many of the green, yellow, red and blue seats belong to people and how many to the built-in bot.

The match

Each color has four tokens. Roll a six to bring one onto the track, move by the die, and send an opponent back to its yard by landing on it away from a safe square. Tokens must complete the circuit and reach the last home step by an exact roll. The result screen ranks all colors as they finish, not only the winner.

The code implements eight safe track positions. It also handles three consecutive sixes by ending that turn. When only one token can legally move, the game moves it automatically after the roll. The bot first looks for a capture, then a move that reaches home exactly, then a token it can bring out of the yard, and finally the furthest-progressed legal token. It is a simple opponent rather than an online or learning AI.

The settings offer light, dark and system themes, haptic feedback, and one sound switch for menu music and the dice effect. Version 1.0.3 pauses the music during a match, leaving the dice sound. Games are not saved for later, and there is no rules tutorial, chat, ranking server or account.

Offline and local

The measured APK declares only its private dynamic-receiver permission. It has no internet, storage, location or account access, and our scan found no trackers. The GitHub and donation buttons hand their URLs to another installed app; Ludo itself cannot make a network request.

About this file

• This is F-Droid’s build of version 1.0.3, signed with F-Droid’s key. Besides the audio change, 1.0.3 moves the interface text into Flutter’s localisation system, but the fixed source currently supplies English only.
• The 8.6 MB file hosted here runs on Android 7.0 and later and contains only a 64-bit ARM native library, so it will not install on a 32-bit-only phone. An x86 emulator needs ARM64 translation to run it; F-Droid also publishes native x86-64 and separate 32-bit ARM files for version 1.0.3.
• Ludo’s code is published under GPL-3.0-only. The repository bundles bgm.mp3 and dice.mp3 without naming their creator, source or a separate asset licence, so the code licence is clearer than the provenance of those two audio files.
• The four screenshots were added for version 1.0.0 and show its older 2P/3P/4P and Pass & Play/With Bots setup. Versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 use separate Humans 1–4 and Bots 0–3 controls.

CPU types in this build: arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM, almost every phone since 2017).

Versions currently kept in the F-Droid repository. We host and check only the newest one.
