• Alpha rewrite using Godot - 27 March 2025

  There is now a "Play Godot version" launch option that runs an early test version of the game mechanics reimagined in the Godot game engine. It contains 2 test boards and 2 test word lists which are randomly selected when you start a new game. The QE/WASD keys rotate the board or WASD pan if Ctrl is held down, shift accelerates. Holding the right mouse button also rotates the board (x/y axis rotation in centre, z axis around edge), middle mouse to pan. Mouse wheel and F/C keys zoom in and out. Left mouse button selects letters. Space opens/closes the word list, holding right mouse button over the word list moves it, also holding Alt resizes it. Esc exits the game.

• Patch for old save games. - 1 March 2024

  Found a bug in one of the loading mechanisms for continuing saved games (credit goes to 6Taylor4 for reporting as issue, hopefully this is the issue he was referring to). The bug was introduced in the "Overlay words" update on the 28th February where I changed the format of save game files, but hadn't correctly accounted for how one of the types of word list was previously stored in the changes to the reloading mechanism.

• Titles removed. - 29 February 2024

  Apparently it would seem that running the animated attacking title while doing the initialising in the background may help towards giving an amateur feel to the game. Running it like that did give some stuttering to the animation under certain circumstances, running it in serial would have alleviated it to some extent. It was there for 2 reasons: - to mask the background setup - to emphasise the idea of the game bombarding you with words, e.g. that you were being "attacked" by them. On the second point, nobody seems to have associated the "attack" part of the name in the way I'd meant for it to be taken. Therefore, as it has not appeared to address either of the reasons that it existed, I have decided to remove the titles from the game. On starting the game it will now go straight to the help (if still enabled in the settings) or the main menu.

• Easier game mode? - 28 February 2024

  New "Overlay words" option With this option selected the game plays as before. When placing words to find, they could be placed over one another, e.g. if it were placing the words ONE and TWO, the same "O" could be used for each words placement. You could also use the same letters to find different words, e.g. if you wanted to find ONE and SOMEONE you could find SOMEONE, then use the ONE from that word to find ONE. With this option unselected, two things happen. Firstly words are placed apart from one another. When placing words all the letters are added as their own unique cell/tile. Secondly, when selecting where words are, if you select a letter that has been used to find another word then that word will be removed from your list of found words and you will need to find it again elsewhere (or in the same place in which case the same thing will happen to the word you just found). As t…

• Mouse button option - 23 February 2024

  Changed the way the mouse buttons control the game and added an option to allow selection of the what the buttons do to the game board (it is on settings tab 2). Therefore you can select primary to rotate and secondary to select etc instead of the default of primary selects, middle moves and right rotates.

• image tweaks - 22 February 2024

  - some image tweaks

• Replaced skybox model - 21 February 2024

  Replaced the skybox sphere/mesh to reduce issue of seam on the projected image.

• Patch notes - 21 February 2024

  - Changes to the standard colour scheme. It now has a background image plus some transparency has been removed. - Panels added around the game setup screen and the settings option from the main menu, to offset previous use of transparency to derive background colour on these screens. - Changed the way cell count field shown so it doesn't just blend into dark backgrounds (e.g. on the Night colour scheme). - Added a new "Transparent" colour scheme option which is similar to the old standard colour scheme. - Fix to a bug with table image loading where data was checked using the wrong indexing values. - Specific spherical skyboxes for some specific boards (e.g. an "asteroid field" for the imperial star "Destroyer" board). Note that it's currently linked to the "extra textures" setting being ticked. - Fix to mapping issue with falcon "Freighter" board, 4 adjacent cell pairs only linked in on…

• Separate icon scale - 5 February 2024

  Splits the "Interface scale" option on the settings screen so that UI icons while playing a board are controlled by a new "Icon scale" slider. If you're running at a lower resolution then you may want to run the icons at a lower value than the rest of the interface, otherwise they may not fit on the screen or the rest of the UI may be rather small.

• Sky box change - 3 February 2024

  A small change to the sky box UVs.

• Colour changes - 2 February 2024

  Changed some of the colour mappings, removing some of the transparency as well as the actual colours in use.
