SmartboxDesign Blog

If you want to know how Todd Sherman and the guys at Smartbox Design produce their excellent games then head over to the SmartboxDesign blog for some great insight. It's a good blog and worth a read. A recent post looks at their excellent game, and one of my favourites, WordPop. "As I mentioned earlier, the bonus tiles were not yet useful and so it made sense to add that feature next. As you can see in the image, bonus tiles are now place-able and useable in word building as you would expect. What I didn’t expect during this process was that some restructuring of code made adding one of our new features the next obvious choice. WordPop now has an undo feature! We will let you undo your last move when you’ve done something to change the board (removed a word, rotated, or placed a bonus tile). You cannot undo back more than one move, however. Let us know what you think about undo and how it should work." Make the jump to the SmartboxDesign Blog.
