Intel Build of WordBeGone

I have just put up an Intel build of WordBeGone. This makes the game much more efficient on Intel-based Macs (almost every Mac sold from 2006 onwards.) Other minor changes:

  • removed the option for slow transitions (bo-oring!)
  • updated contact information

The original PPC build of WordBeGone is still available for download as well.

WordBeGone patched to 1.1.8

Page edges sometimes seemed to disappear on a GeForce 5200 under OS X Tiger. Improved them a little.

15Dec/04

WordBeGone Version 1.1.7

  • Fixed music volume control.
17Nov/04

WordBeGone version 1.1.6

  • Words above 9 letters now recognized.
  • New "straight line" option for word selection for players who didn't like free-form scribbling.
  • Increased maximum board-clearing bonus from 1000 to 2000 points.
  • Freeform word crossing out (the default) has been tweaked so that rapid mouse movement on slow CPUs doesn't confuse it.
10Nov/04

WordBeGone version 1.1.3, 1.1.4

  • Toggle full screen/windowed works and the playing area is correctly centered.
  • No more full-screen white flash on startup.
  • Added numeric timer display.
  • Updated scoring rules in Readme. Other minor tweaks.
