Hey everyone!

When I saw the new table features and functions that came out on Friday, I decided it was time to take a crack at this game. I've been wanting to make it for months now -- making different word games is what I love to do (you should see my hard drive -- I have tons started...Maybe that's not good, though)! Now that we have multiplayer and these new functions, I thought it was time to start! I'll be posting video updates every now and then -- so here's video update number 1!



Thanks for looking!

    Nice work :)

    Where can I find more info on the new functions @Braydon_SFX ?

    @Loaded The new functions are part of the nightly builds, which are available to Pro members. Among other things, they allow you to loop over table rows or columns quickly and easily, search tables for specific values quickly, and manipulate and search text strings. The announcement for this was made in a Pro area of the forums. The good news is that eventually these functions -- I assume -- will be made available to everyone in the stable build of Creator. Until then, Pro members have access to them now.

    Nice one, I intend on getting my pro membership this month as I am nearing the end of my first game and need some pro features to finish it off. Looking forward to having a play with the nightlies.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Here's video update number 2!

  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    Hey all,

    Here's video update number 3!

    What's new:
    - New power up which will remove 3 random letters which are not in the puzzle. The cool thing about this is that it will NOT pick letters that are in the secret word or letters which have already been eliminated.

    - A button which, when pressed, will remove all entered tiles so you can restart your word. This can come in handy if you realize the word you're typing isn't the secret word. Instead of tapping each column to remove the letter, you can simply press that button and the game does the work for you.

    Enjoy!

    Looking great dude!

    Any demos/tuts planned on how to use these new table features?
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    Cool. This is really cool. Plus nice to see someone sharing the benefits of the new string functions in an actual game.

    Thanks! Yes, I have been planning to do a video explaining how to setup and use all of these new functions. I have the demo project already created, just need to find a time to record!

    Thanks, Jon! This game probably wouldn't even be possible without the new functions.
    Thanks for looking!

    @Braydon_SFX

    Very nice, Bray; looks to be addictive with some neat programming too. Good work... :-) I look forward to the progress of this one.

    @Socks‌ @Zombiebrains‌ @DeepBlueApps‌ @timolapre1998‌ @gyroscope‌ - Thanks guys!

    Here's video update number 4!
    Art!

  • -Timo--Timo- Member Posts: 2,313
    looks really cool!
    noticed that T didnt turn green at 5:20 in video. N I G did turn green but T didn't.
    just wanted to let you know :)
    keep up the good work
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    @timolapre1998‌ - Nice catch. However, I think the only reason the N turned green was because I actually typed it in, as you can see at 5:21. I never actually typed in the letter T but you're right, it's in the puzzle, I just never used it.

    Looks really good, I love word games. I'll be checking it out!
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273

    Thanks everyone!

    Here's video update number 5!

    New feature has been coded in that informs the player that a letter they've entered in the word is in that word, just in the wrong spot. Let me know what you guys think.

  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273

    Video Update 0.6!

    Whats new: A notification will appear if a certain letter appears more than once in the puzzle answer. Watch the video below to see it in action. We've also added in some new Power Up images.

    Can anyone give me the link to CodeMonkey's post of the new table search functions posted in January? I have been searching for it and I can't find it. Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: It wasn't posted by CodeMoney, I eventually figured that out and found what I was looking for.

    Progress looks great!!

  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989

    agreed... looking really good.

    Just a quick update: this game was put on hold because we didn't know if Together Games was going to continue to be supported by GameSalad. With the announcement by GameSalad, work has continued on this! A lot of work has gone into this word game and I hope y'all enjoy it when it's finally done!
