Further Progress(Posted 2006-05-08)
Current Coding

1. About and Options - started 08/05/06


Known Bugs

2. Computer gives an error when trying to make a two letter word,
appears to be when trying to place anywhere.

4. wrong letter getting chosen 'consonant or vowel' - in addition
if it is selected for placement the square on board then remains
blank. Stopping the tile being chosen should prevent all this. - fixed 18/04/06

fixed again 30/04/06 as bug was due to two coding errors,
both/either would allow bug to show.

6. Ongoing - removing suspect words from dictionary that don't exist.

7. AI doesnt calculate scores correctly when comparing words, problem - fixed 23/04/06
seems to be related to bonus calculations.

8. Possible problem replacing letters as time is about to expire?

9. when changing letters in practice mode, tries to switch player - fixed 23/04/06

10. load error when computer's turn. - found one of the bugs, still one to do

11. error when quiting when computers turn if a game has been loaded,
seem to be an unknown number of related errors!

12. error when freeing an image (gfxScreenCopy) - fixed 07/05/06

13. error with excluded window, when using slidebar with mouse wheel
disables clicking on a word - fixed 08/05/06

Work still needed.

1. AI still needs more coding - including computer making words with
more letters than are available on the rack.

2. 'Game Over' code including what happens when low or out of letters.

3. Help button needs coding and info writing.

4. The buttons for adding and removing words needs coding - as does
the listing of these words.

5. Recent list of words needs coding.

6. Excludes tab need coding. - started 29/04/06 - completed 08/05/06

7. 'Options' to be coded (partly related to game over).

8. 'About' to be coded.

9. Some gfx need checking and some alerts etc changing from 'Notify'.

10. Sound fx.
