CrossWord3D — Bug Fix

Rolled out an update today: Version 0.7.8530-Beta


What's New

  • Fixed an issue where using a hint on a word that happened to start with a capital letter caused the keyboard to disappear. Keyboards seem useful, lol.

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.
    Status: Haven't started.
  • Custom Play Packs:
    Idea: User generated puzzles saved into play packs.
    Status: Built a puzzle generator. Needs a user interface and is waiting on main menu with play packs to be completed first.
  • Power-ups:
    Idea: Currently only have hints showing up but I want to add more types of these. Such as solving the first letter of the word, or solving all of one letter across the whole puzzle.  
    Status: Haven't started.
  • Sounds:
    Idea: Default to off but allow to be toggled on
    Status: 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.
    Status: Added in some playful animations but they caused lots of issues and had to remove them. Need to start over with these.
  • Puzzle Cube Interactions:
    Idea: I'd like to do some work on the 3D puzzle made of cubes so that it is easier to see what is going on and easier to control.
    Status: Haven't started yet.
