Share My Creation A9 Letters and Numbers 2018

I am - not so proud nor happy - to release my first app.

Please, share its URL (even from inside the app itself)... I really need it.

Thank you

maybe you've developed Googl Translate?

SHOOR (or should it be "sure"?)

P.S: The ruzzle has a system to block who injects false scores, so that someone has experimented with a system to find solutions on the screen. It would be interesting if some brilliant developer tried to make a similar application for your app

I have to think (but before I have to fix the d. bug); maybe a kind of private-public-key to send always with any message.

 

[Star-Dust]

I know there are people who could overcome such protection. Also because a private key sent publicly is readable.

I would make another change, if the nickname would contain the word "dust" or "star" in its interior it would automatically double the points. It seems to me a nice saint forward and it would greatly improve the playability,

Also because a private chiavew sent publicly is readable.

Idea: why do not require an eMail?

Idea: why do not require an eMail?

I do not know why you did not think about it before, email and password. Lately we have to suggest you ideee us.

Anyway there are emails of a day, which are created cancel in 24 hours.

 

[LucaMs]

24 hours

ten minutes

Maybe we should stop calling them program 'bugs' and instead call them 'hidden features'. Just like the old Gameboys and PlayStation console, tap the correct combination of buttons and be granted infinite lives (or in @LucaMs game halt time )
I like hidden features in games

 

[sorex]

I guess if you ask for an email that people will uninstall it right away. some collect and sell email addresses.

 

[LucaMs]

I have an idea to avoid that a user can send fake points.
Now I have to fix the major bug; then I have to search if PHP has encryption/decryption functions.

 

[Star-Dust]

As soon as you do let me know so I can tell you if it works

you know what, i was 1 day in a ios class (in a university) to see how the course is running and i followed the instruction of the teacher on my pc and i had an issue with xcode. so i called the teacher and told him i found a bug in xcode and he replied: "No, no, no those are no bugs those are "features" "

@LucaMs : can you look for a better (more complete) italian dictionary? Current version doesn't recognize several common words.
Another point: could it feasible to score higher words using "difficult" letters (e.g. Q, H) like the game Scarabeo?

About A9: you should really explain how to reach a better score. Is it better to consume all the given numbers sparing less time, or is better to use as few as possible but stopping the clock earlier? Did you implement any check to avoid a "pure luck" situation like having 100 and 37 with a goal of 137 (or even worse 200 with a goal of 200)?

Anyway, I had some fun playing with your app. Thank you.

 

[Star-Dust]

I found a way to get a better score, but I do not know if you meant this

I posted in the thread "Chiacchiericci" (Italian Forum) a couple of possible tricks, but I prefer to play "honestly" because I find it more gratifying.

 

[sorex]

then you need to be lucky to have 1 aswell to do 200x1

 

[udg]

@sorex : right. I didn't take in account that at least one operator must be used. So the best case is having two numbers easily combined against the goal.
BTW: is there any certainty (by design) that the given numbers can always lead to the goal?

 

[LucaMs]

@LucaMs : can you look for a better (more complete) italian dictionary? Current version doesn't recognize several common words.

It's very very hard to find vocabularies on Internet. Perhaps an Italian one yes; anyway, I think that it has a lot of words, also conjugated verbs (and I don't like this, to be honest)

could it feasible to score higher words using "difficult" letters (e.g. Q, H) like the game Scarabeo?

Of course, this should be a good idea, thank you.

To better explain how this score is calculated ... I should first explain it to myself
Soon I will post here the calculation (for the numerical game) and if you have better solutions they are very welcome.

 

[LucaMs]

No

However, you should get more points based on:
Abs distance from the goal
number of... numbers used (more numbers, better score - this is...

to avoid a "pure luck"

time saved

 

[sorex]

is there any certainty (by design) that the given numbers can always lead to the goal?

in my Math King app this is the case with a minimum of 2 operations to avoid the easy solitions you pointed at.

 

[LucaMs]

I modified a lot the initial part, the one with the "login".

I hope that at least this time the app does not crash on @ilan's devices (but it will no more work on the devices on whic it worked before ).

Version 1.5

 

[An Schi]

Still crashing after splashscreen here.
Same behaviour and device as described in my first post.
