Rolled out an update today: Version 0.7.5931-Beta
What's New
- The puzzle will not snap back to the original position after each word as it was doing. Now it should retain any position you leave it in until the puzzle is completed.
- Swiping left and right should move the puzzle a quarter turn. You can still drag the puzzle to any position.
- Fixed an issue where the "Bible Version" button wasn't always working on the first load.
- Fixed an issue where the "Bible Version" button and the verse of the day text were showing at the same time and overlapping each other.
- Added a "CrossWord3D" title at the top of the screen for now because some devices push the ad down a bit and leave an empty space at the top of the screen.
Road Map
These are the things I hope to build into the app someday. These may or may not happen but they are what I am currently working on behind the scenes.
- Play Packs:
Idea: Groups of verses ("Play Packs") instead of randomly selected verses.
Progress: Haven't started. - Custom Play Packs:
Idea: User generated puzzles saved into play packs.
Progress: Built a puzzle generator. Needs a user interface and is waiting on main menu with play packs to be completed first. - Mini games:
Idea: Playable mini-games (for example they could be similar to: pong, flappy-bird, minesweeper, etc.) the purpose being to break up game play and to acquire power-ups to be used on puzzles.
Progress: Haven't started. - Power-ups:
Idea: Gained from mini-games, storable and usable for things like narrowing the keyboard to only letters for the current word, solving all of one letter on the puzzle, etc.
Progress: Haven't started. Waiting on mini-games to be completed first. - Sounds:
Idea: Default to off but allow to be toggled on
Progress: Haven't started. - Better Graphics/Animation:
Idea: After core functionality is built in I hope to start working on the graphics, animation, and general "gamification" of the app.
Progress: Added in some playful animations but they caused lots of issues and had to remove them. Need to start over with these.
