There's room for improvement. Many times when I went to grab a tile on top of the pile it would instead grab one underneath. Also, the first time I ran it, it seemed to make groups "phantom" tiles that couldn't be selected, even if they were the only ones under my finger. Exiting and restarting the program made them go away. I also ran into the problem of not enough area on the screen to actually make my "poetry" due to all of the tiles.
Requests/suggestions:
- allow for the creation of custom tile sets that could be picked from the "i" button, or when first starting the program.
- expand the play area and allow it to be navigated by dragging/swiping with two fingers.
- provide different background/theme options. The brushed metal isn't bad, but don't limit yourself to that.
- no idea how hard this would be, but allow a double-tap on a word tile to change its tense. ex: "fool" could become "fools", "fooled", "fooling", "foolish", etc. back to the original word. That would eliminate the need for "s", "ed", "ing", "ish", etc. and would expand your word variety without adding to your tile count and clutter. You're emulating a physical item in a digital world. There's no need to stick to physical limitations.
- along the same line, a double-tap on a period tile could step through punctuation. Or better, pulls up a picker so you could choose your punctuation on the fly.
I look forward to seeing what you do with the program.
