11 years ago Mostly done in a9f5935, 2c3cb83 and fb8e464. The differences with what is described above are:
- the word is still typed in the textual field, so a joker must be typed inside parentheses (not holding "shift")
- a right-click clears the board (because it clears the coordinates), but doesn't really clear the word. I don't know if this is good or not.
- no drag & drop support from the visual rack to the board
Currently, it is possible to click on the board to define where the played word starts, instead of typing the coordinates. But the word must still be typed in the text control below the board, it is not visible on the board itself.
It would be very practical to type the word right after defining the position, and to see the tiles directly on the board, as soon as they are typed. The tiles would have a special color, to indicate that they are only preview tiles. To play a joker, one would have to hold the "shift" key while typing the letter. Typing Enter could validate the move. A way to clear the board (and put all the preview tiles back into the rack) should also be provided.
The described behaviour is quite similar to the one of WordBiz (see http://www.isc.ro/), but WordBiz also allows drag & drop of tiles from the rack to the board.
