SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE

By: Adam Plumb 15.6 years ago
Currently down for an update, should be up soon. (2:23 EST)

Edit:

The game server is back up.

Here are the changes since last time:

  • There is now a word chart that shows how many words of differing letters there are
  • The "Words Others Got" list is now sorted in order of largest to smallest
  • Mousing is changed and hopefully improved. The new action is to click on the first letter of a word, mouse over the word, then click on the last letter to send the word. It also now keeps the word that you're working on highlighted.
  • Improved the efficiency of the chat window, hopefully removed some bugs
  • Ratings are now a bit more volatile for players with a lot of games.
  • Tweaked some rules for some of the rooms
I just want to mention that Paco is our first 1700+ player! My hope with increasing the rating volatility is less for a guy like Paco who is going to do great anyway, but more for the medium-level people that don't get enough sensitivity in their rating changes.

In forum news, Alex is working hard and he's shown me some previews: they look great! I can't wait to get that up and live for you guys because you're going to love it!
