DodgyBarnett is having playability problems. My game is super hard, and very frustrating... (472 days ago)
DodgyBarnett also discovered the reason for a massive drop in FPS: it was due to a bug in the Updateables system, not the threading! Threading currently disabled... may be time for a revisit. (472 days ago)
DodgyBarnett has been quiet, but not inactive! Now implemented: check completed words against word list, pause mode, game lose condition, scrabble word scoring and letter frequency, game restart, bottom row of letters removed (and the rest slide down) everytime a valid word is completed. (472 days ago)
DodgyBarnett is thoroughly shamed. Ah well, onwards and upwards... just like those damn letters. (475 days ago)
