Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Version 0.2 now in extras-devel. The main feature it adds is the Daily Online Challenge. Every day, a new set of cards, common to every one playing the challenge, is set, so you can compare your scores. Top 10 scores for every day are at:

(JohnLF is going to be tough to beat!!)

The other main new feature is the ability to re-order the cards by doing a long press on them.

I am loving this new version Slocan, it is great fun.
Vincy whoever you are, you are giving me a challenge!

Package is now in Extras-Testing:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ordsler/0.2.0/
If you've tested it, and feel it is ready for Extras as per the QA guidelines, please vote.

@JohnLF: you're very impressive, consistant highscores! It was quite fun watching you and Vincy battling it out this week-end. The online version should be available for Symbian^3 in a few days (going through Ovi store QA), so that might bring a few more challengers.

lol...just trying my best whenever i get the time..;)

@ Slocan...I agree with John - the new version is quite good:)

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Version 0.3 in extras-devel now. It adds some more stats tracking (called achievements), available when pressing on the score table. It's quite plain looking, I'm definitely struggling with the artwork... :)

PS: grats to JonhLF and Vincy again, amazing how you 2 can be so consistent!

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Just downloading now - thanks.

Still can't believe Vincy got 195 yesterday, 192 today and both on 1st attempt! Very well done. Would love to know what some of the words were!

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Yesterday, he used very easy to find words like ADENINES, GAUZIER and CLIQUIER :-p.

I record the words that are used (for fraud detection), and I intend to somehow make them available (a day or two after) on the site, but I haven't weighed the pros and cons of it, or how to make it in a useful and interesting way. I'm open to suggestions.

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

I'm normally quite good at getting the IERs INGs EDs etc, but I admit to missing GAUZIER. Sure I used GAUZE at one point - drat! ;-p

Nice one Vincy (dar3d3vil) - I'm feeling thoroughly beaten at the mo! :D

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

How about a list of the top 5 or 10 scoring words, and if used by a single person, you could list their name? That way everyone gets to see how the high scores are done and learns to improve. If done the day after, there's no problem with people using other people's words etc.?

Re: [Announce] Wordsler - Word game.
 

Another update in Extras-devel, mostly to fix a bug where cards became inaccessible under some circumstances in portrait mode.

And just for giggles, a (very bad) photo of Wordsler running on 7 different OS.
