Rolled out an update today: Version 0.7.7730-Beta
What's New
- Added 53 verses with 10 versions for each making for 530 puzzles shipped in the app! On top of that there are still new verse of the day puzzles added daily.
- Made puzzles a little smaller in general so that larger ones fit on the screen easier. You still have the pinch-to-zoom option to resize as needed while you play.
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: Stated working on a mini game that will be a cross between the games breakout and alien invaders. It's not included in the game yet. - 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.
