XOGGLE BETA 1B27 RELEASED 17 SEPTEMBER 2002 -- Xoggle, the open-source Boggle game developement effort, was updated today from developer Drew Hamlin of Vizspring Software. Xoggle is an open-source, networkable game of the popular classic game Boggle. It includes a full dictionary word list as well as REALbasic and text-based source code. Changes in release 1B27: - Added preferences dialog with the option to auto-define the word list instead of having to manually select it at the start of each game - Fixed a bug where Xoggle would fail to pick the longest possibility in some rare cases, which sometimes would result in not seeing a word as being on the board - Windows version now additionally available Note: As of the current version, multiplayer networking is disabled and is still yet to be added to the game. We are planning on using the newly written QueueSocket to add multiplayer capabilities in an upcoming release. Xoggle is available for free download, including source code, from <http://www.drewhamlin.com/realbasic/>. Xoggle is distributed under the GNU General Public License and is OSI certified as part of the Open Source Initiative at <http://www.opensource.org> Xoggle is being developed using REALbasic 4.5, but is backwards compatible with little or no code revision, depending on the REALbasic version. REALbasic Developer Drew Hamlin is best-known for his work at Vizspring Software where he has created the well-known and Macworld Magazine acclaimed Typeset and ThrobberEdit applications.
