Today's Plan.. Blog
24th March 2019
Honestly, I might rest a bit, today. It is Sunday, after all.

-=-=-

Yesterday was fairly busy as I formulated a way to draw the new AI character for Shoebox, but I also took some time to fix up a bit of Foldapuz.
It seems that, for some reason, I'd neglected to add a limit to the position of the secondary word on the grid, and so it would occasionally glitch off the edge of the board.
D'oh!

The fix wasn't too hard, but it required a fair amount of balance, to ensure the "find a word that fits" script isn't too taxed, CPU wise.

These are the sorts of things that I'm eventually going to have to deal with when I dare to make a "Proper Scrabble" for Shoebox, as I wouldn't want to overwhelm the browser, doing hundreds of thousands of word placements within a few seconds.
I might, instead, leave AL running constantly, but at a reduced rate, to try to find good placements whilst you're trying to make your own moves.

Anyhoo, that's all yet to come. For now, there are other more pressing game ideas to attend to.
