Word Whirl

[D/\SH]

I've updated Word Whirl in the App Gallery (2009-08-21)

Version 0.1.2

New Features

• New How To Play Screen
• Puzzle Game Option
• New Game on Failed Screen

Known Bugs

• Done button in Puzzle Mode and Score Display don't really work well together

Note: Partial functionality allowing for save/load has been implemented. This required a few changes in the database. I did not write conversion scripts as I would for a real release version, so you will need to go through the DB load process again the first time this version is ran. I believe this will put the DB in the condition to handle all future planned functionality.

Upcoming Features

• High Score list
• Game Save/Load
• Minimize generates Pause
• Back gesture generates Pause (not immediately end game)

Version 0.1.1

New Features

• Added keyboard functions
  
  • '@' key performs a Whirl
  • '.' key performs a Clear
  
  

Version 0.1.0

New Features

• Timed Game Play added, with level completion
• Score for words, levels, and games
• Time bonus given proportional to word difficulty
• Keyboard Support Added
  
  • Letter keys for selecting letters
  • Enter to Submit word
  • Space Bar for Last word
  
  

Version 0.0.4
Features

• Basic Game play UI
• DB Loading with 1300+ games

Deleting the App will remove the DB, requiring doing the DB load after installing again. Best bet will be to install over top without deleting.

As requested, I also created a donation link.
