Boggly is a nice game, dude =]

One more suggestion:
if you wanted a wordmaking game, it would be nice if you make something like "only consecutive characters"

HUD
ITO
ANE

Here you can find "Hud", "Hit", "Ant" and anyone I'm lazy to find now


Don't you think?

But it is a different game... nice entry..

About your name again! It is really nice: my game is call "sqrt(6)"


The worst foe lies within the self...

I nearly got `merchant` but the `t` wasn't touching the 'n'

The game just stops at the end and you have to re-load the game for another go, I assume this is temporary.
Could you make it choose letters so that every constant touches a vowell?

I fixed the stop at the end. I have a whole menu system set up for the game. I just won't boter putting it up until I add sound. What you have here, though, is the game itself. (also, in the new, you can choose whether you want classic Boggle or the one with changing letters). As for the vowel problem, I designed this game to be like boggle, and so it randomly picks letters through the same method that boggle does(just computerized "dice").

By the way, I am open to suggetions on music. And if anyone knows ways I can lower the memory the application takes (10 megs) that would be nice (and no, its not that large due to media).

Make a backup of your plugins directory then delete all the DLL's your program don't use then compile - My game is 2.8bm and 1mb of that is media.
Don't forget make backup of plugins directory first.

Ok. Who can I tell just which one I need? And does anyone else have any other methods of reducing memory?

I endud up finding an easy way too do it (posted in DBPro section) Reduced the application down to 5.2 Megs (about half). So I'm pretty happy. Just go into the Compile folder and open up system.ini. Move the necessary DLL's to EXCLUSIONS and put them in order. DB will then compile without them. Saves having to make a backup folder and checking midlessly through DLLs. Thanx anyway though

Completed (at least I'm pretty sure it is) version is now available. I need to see how well it is working on other computers and comments or suggetions are more than welcome (I still might need to fix a few things). Download from same location as the former demo.
