[Rsgames-beta] Scrabble?

[Caroline Toews]

Kevan, in Scrabble, words go from left to right, and top to bottom. So you can’t make a backwards word or a word that goes upwards. There shouldn’t be any need to mark the beginning of a word in this case.

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for my delayed reply. I'll give an example. I tried putting in the word "mute" once, and the game said "etum" is not a word.

Technically this can happen with any word the game gets backwards. Maybe there's a specific direction the game checks words?

My suggestion, to prevent this happening in the future, if it keeps happening, would maybe be to add a suggestion for marking the start of words. There could be a checkbox or something for me to tell the game, Hey this is the 1st letter.

 

Just my thoughts. I don't do sound design, or I'd help with those too.

How about adding in the Rummy background music for Scrabble too? That track is several minutes long LOL.

Hi Kevan,

 

Thanks for this.

 

For this part: "No way to mark the start of words, so the game keeps getting words

backwards... This is a show-stopper, really bugs me when I get a good
word and can't use it." 

 

Could you please describe a little further, maybe with an example?

 

Thanks,

 

Ryan

Hi!


There might still be enough time to fix Scrabble before the 20th of this 
month, which is RS Games' 11th anniversary.


Here's the 3 biggest bugs I notice.

1: No way to mark the start of words, so the game keeps getting words 
backwards... This is a show-stopper, really bugs me when I get a good 
word and can't use it.

2: No background music, so the client keeps throwing errors. I'd think 
you'd be able to use the background music from other games, maybe Rummy, 
as that track's pretty long.

3: When I activate the report option at the end of the game main menu, 
and I cancel, the client freezes after I cancel my report filing. 
There's no way to get back in except to close the client and start over.

Good luck with game development. I really wouldn't like to see no games 
released this year, especially with the pandemic people are probably 
bored out of their minds, LOL.
