  Dodgy Game v1.0 just released!

  Didn't get everything in that I wanted - e.g. I was hoping to add a movement method like the old "Snake" game, and I was going to use the high score API for online high scores. I may still try to add these and upload another release. There were also grand plans for audio & music, but I never found time to get started on them. Easter eggs also fell by the wayside, and most of the GUI and artwork is still clearly in the "programmer art" category :o)

  Nice rob, I like it. I like the underscore, works well once you're used to it. It's pretty annoying when you make a mistake tho :) Nice how it gets a bit frantic as it goes on. I'm making words like "pee" just to get something done :) The second time I died was because I wrote "SII" because I thought it was "SIT" damn Arvigo! :P

  Thanks Sizzle. "Australian" doesn't appear in the word list (used to check what is a valid word) unfortunately - I think it excludes names. I tried to get "Mexican" while I was testing it, but that too wasn't on the word list.

• DodgyBarnett wonders if Nick has tried any undelete type software to try to recover the files? Are you on a Windows machine? (465 days ago)
• DodgyBarnett also feels doomed. Mine might also be a playable demo, the only real hitch being the playability.... (465 days ago)
• DodgyBarnett has posted a new comment on team KranzkySoftware. (468 days ago)

• 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)
