What’s New in Version 3.0:
Now for the first time you can now play “Team Doggle”, this enables you to have two teams of players that compete as a team. The words for each team are combined into a single word list for the team. Each team member is given credit for their unique words and for their words that match the other team players. The scoring is the same as before. On the results the name is shown as the “Team Name” followed by the first names of the team members.
This new feature is an option during the setup for a new game. On “Team;” toggle the “No” to a “Yes” and then you will have the two fields to enter the team names.
During the “Select Players” you will now see a box where you can select the team for that player. First select the player (number appears) and then depress the box until the correct team name appears, then select the next player following the same sequence.
If you are playing “Team Doggle” you must have at least one player on a team or the you will get an “Alert Message” stating you have not selected players for both teams.
This version also as a new algorithm to create the letters for the boards based on the percentages of letters in the dictionary. Also based on most used two letter combinations, I have added “Sc” and “Sp” as new two letter tiles.
The “Rotate” feature has been modified so that you no longer have to turn the board to view the rotated cubes. The display is now rotated 90 degrees so you have the same old look, but it stays in the portrait position.
Also, you now have three board sizes you can play the 6 x 6 board for the better players, a 5 x 5 board for beginning players and a 4 x 4 for young players. If you choose the 4 x 4 board you can also choose a word size of 2. The screen sizes will change with the board layout to give you the maximum letter size for each board. This feature is selected in the setup for a new game. There is a toggle box “Board” you can toggle to 6,5 or 4.
Also fixed an error in the Won/Lost calculation for games with more than 2 players.
Added a Game History File that saves the raw data for the game, this enables you to go back and rescore a previous game. To do this first depress the “Sub-Menu” button on the Main Menu and then depress the “Restore History Files”, depress the name of the game you want to rescore. This will also save a current game if you have one you are playing. This will also place all the score files for the game in the Pending File. Then just depress “Score the Current Game” and the game should be rescored the results added to your “Game Results” and an email will be created to send the new results to the other players. If you are encountering an error or explained results, you have the option in Restore History files to send these files to the developer to analyze the game and determine if there is an error that needs to be fixed.
