[REWORD - A 6 letter word game v0.2]

[wraggster]

New release from Al McLuckie:

This is a clone of a great Flash game called TextTwist I found on the Net a while ago.

The basic idea is, you have a 6 letter word that has been jumbled up and you must find as many of the 3, 4 5 and 6 letter words that can be made from it in the time allowed. You must get at least one 6 letter word to progress to the next level.

The dictionary I am using is a British word list I found (sorry can't remember where, but if I do I'll include a credit) that seems to hold a reasonable selection, which once filtered for just 3-6 letter words contains about 15000 words. The word list can be replaced or amended, and uses an additional utility I wrote that formats the list ready for the game.

This is the first game I've written for the GP2X and uses the excellent SDL. I've only been working on it for a month or so in my spare time and still learning, so loads of improvements possible such as better sound effects (please!) and some music, better graphics, possibly more comprehensive dictionary, better scoring etc, but the basic gameplay and look/feel is there now.

It would be great to get any feedback and suggestions.

I was so excited to find this game because i love text twist and wanted it for on the go but when i downloaded it i relized it was for the GP2X and not the PSP. I have never code games or software before but i guess im going to have to learn because i want this game on my psp bad and can't find it anywhere. anyway i haven't played it since i don't have a GP2X but props for making this if is anything like text twist.
