Build v0.2.0

Changes:

• 10 tiles per row.
• Letter tiles snap to grid.
• Letters are arranged according to Ting Yu’s algorithm.
• Start game countdown.
• Last X number of tiles start a game over countdown, with progress bars.
• Scoring system.
• Win / lose conditions.
• Win / lose screens.

Known bugs:

• Simultaneously selecting tiles from the player’s board and spawned tiles from the pool causes tiles from the player’s board to be unsnatchable.
• May have other tile select bugs.

Issues:

• No limit on how many letters can be in a word, so if the number of letters is greater than the maximum number of letters in a row, the word spans across rows.
• Spawned letters are still completely random, so can’t form proper words most of the time.
• Doesn’t check against a dictionary or word list yet, otherwise game would get stuck when no words can be formed.
• Need to close the game when it ends, no main menu or auto-restart yet.

Squabble is a word game for mobile devices (Android and iOS) currently in development at Gameka.
