Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Very nice program! I love scrabble and this is a great single player alternative!

Where did you get the word database from, and would it be hard to implement other languages (not changing the scoring rules)?

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

It's very easy to change the word database, it's just a text file. Would need some testing for non-ascii characters, not entirely sure it would support that as is.

I just beat my high score! Now on 182 helped hugely by getting CLOISTER for 32 points :D

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Can you implement an easy mode in which more than 8 cards are displayed? This will be nice for us non-native speakers. :)

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

I found the word list on the github repo. But I wondered more specifically where you found all of them as I guess you didn't type it all in :)
SPOILER ALERT:

Also, I take it the program is GPL v2 (or later), even though your copyright file is a bit empty still?

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

@Timus: I think 8 letters is quite enough. I am not a native speaker either :-)

@barzam: Actually, you found an old list, the current one is:
https://raw.github.com/Slocan/Wordsl.../wordlist2.txt
I've found similar issues with it than the ones you reported, but haven't yet found a better one.
As for license, I guess it would be under the GPL... This stuff makes my head hurt :)

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Personally I think GPL is a good choice, that's been around for a long time and have been tried in several European courts and found valid.

Would it be possible you think for Wordsler to read words from the phone's own dictionary? That would perhaps be an easy way to use other languages in the game?

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

It's a good idea, but I don't know of any ways to access the dictionary. I'll have a look into it as time allows.

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

How about a random button that jumbles the existing letters? (for both games). Sometimes letters in a different order present themselves better.

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

firstl thankyou for such a addictive game, certainly gets the grey cells working :D
