aWordGame

About 6 months ago, I came up with this brilliant idea for a project that I couldn't wait to get started on. The sad thing is that I had to wait. I was way too busy with school and work. I looked forward to summer for this project more than anything. Well, it turns out I got caught up with work (I'm now doing two jobs, one for BYU-OIT, and work for my uncle), and didn't have enough free time to get it going until about a month ago. I pumped out the basic version of the program pretty quick, but since it has slowly gone many revisions. I am finally proud enough of it to post it publicly. Here it is, aWordGame!

The instruction manual tells you the rules of the game and how to play using my program, but I'll give you a little background here:

I can remember playing this "four letter word game" since I was in early middle school. It used to be a favorite to play in church when I was really bored. I loved it so much I made it for PalmOS and played it with my friends at school (mostly in band with Brian Harris, stand buddy). Pretty much this game is classic to me (a lot of sentimental value). Now what I've done with it, is enabled people (me mostly) to play it with someone else via text messaging! How sweet is that? Whenever I'm bored, no matter where I am or who I'm with I can be playing a very entertaining/slightly intellectual game. Ok, so not that intellectual, but it is one that has human interaction and makes you use you brain, so I love it. Don't always have someone to play with, but I play often enough to be satisfied - very happy really.

I'll put a warning right here right now, that it does basically spam you through out the game (you'll be sent upwards of 15-25 messages during the game and send about 10-15), so without unlimited text messaging, I don't recommend it for use with your phone. However, it works all the same with email, so feel free to give it a try, either with me or anyone of your choosing. I can't promise it will always be up and running or that it won't crash in the middle of your game, but if you do give it a try, I welcome feedback!

My Turn!

So I finally braved up and cut my hair! Like 5 inches! SCARY!! I'm still getting used to it but I'm really liking the change. It was time.

ME and My HONEY! And supposed to be... "The Thoughtful Pose"
