COMPONENTS

9p is an open source foss puzzle game for Android with nine levels where letters are arranged in other to make a correct word. It has 9 letters that can be used to generate words which can be re shoveled to help the user get new words. There is a blue color sign in a specified page that tells how far the user has gone with generating words depending on the letters available on the game. The game is fun and every step taken to move to the next round has been tedious which is normal. I've noticed some things that I believe would be user-friendly in the game, and that's what I will like to propose to the developer in other to implement it in the new version.

PROPOSAL

Reset button - Whenever words are arranged, the undo button resets the words one after the other. It is a very good feature as it sometimes allows the user to get some new words perfectly but still, the general reset of all arranged letters will be of utmost importance. A click to reset all at once will make a good feature in this wonderful project. When the implemented reset button is clicked, all the letters will reset.

Pick, drag, and insert - This feature will be super on this wonderful game. I've been a daily user of the app, and from what I've tested, this feature will allow users to drag letters in between the arranged words.

BENEFITS

There are times that using the undo button will be boring especially when it seems there are no more words to derive after the user might have gotten more than 70% of the words. In this case, the user will be able to delete all the arranged words with just a click and, start putting new words together again. The users will be able to pick and place letters in between arranged words. Anytime a new word is discovered from the arranged words there won't be the need to reset or undo before easily rearranging the word with the drag and insert feature. I will be glad if these features are implement

Thanks.

Glad you liked the game.

If I understand correctly you propose two changes:

  1. addition of a reset (undo) button to put back all tiles
  2. ability to drag a letter into the middle of a word

I think the first one is easy to implement, I just need to think about screen layout a bit since it may not fit on all screens.

The second one needs some more thinking. I actually had this but had to remove it since it was very buggy. I might add it again but need some time to think about a good implementation.

You can drag things around in 0.0.9 but right now you can not place them arbitrary. That will hopefully come later.
