Re: [quackle] Some More Items

[Kevin Leeds]

Welbon,   I can address some of this since I am familiar with computers and the new lexicon.   1) If you could be more specific about the problem that Quackle kept on encountering,     then maybe we could help you better.  What were the signs?  Error messages?    Alerts? warnings? What did you see or hear that indicated to you that Quackle was    not behaving as you expected?  Did it finish installing?  Did it run at all?  Did you    see the board open up as similar to the screen shots?      I was able to play a game against Quackle on Windows XP.  I didn't understand    if your home computer that you transferred the files to has Windows XP, so if it    doesn't then maybe that is involved in the problem.   2) The lexicon for North American Scrabble was updated since March 1, 2006.       In Quackle this is what you get if you select the TWL06 option for the lexicon.     On the opening screen I see 3 tabs labeled "History", "Choices", and "Settings" - the lexicon      choice is under "Settings".       The dictionary changes are described at  http://www.scrabble-assoc.com/boards/dictionary/ospd4-changes.html -     down the page it lists all the new words of length 2-9.       In bookstores since fall 2005, there has been the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 4th Edition, with a red     cover, containing definitions for most of the words.     My question is - the current state of the simulation opponent.  Does it simulate better/ the same/ worse than/ buggier than  the Maven bootleg that I probably have?     Kevin Leeds       ----- Original Message ----- From: Welbon Binyomo To: quackle@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [quackle] Some More Items I dont  know  about  the  lexicon. When  I  was playing  the  inaugural game  it played FE which  is  not  acceptable on  Maven.  I  wonder  whether  it  is  derived  from the  new Collins Wordlist? 2: After downloading  from the  internet I  tranfered  the  file  to  a flash  disk  so  that  I  could download  to my  PC at  home.  My  enterprise  came  to  naught  because  It (Quackle)  Kept  on  encountering   a  problem.  Both  systems  use  widows xp .
