The idea of the game originally comes from the classic word game Scrabble. MooCow combines Scrabble elements with those from Bookworm Adventures, a word adventure game by PopCap games. | The idea of the game originally comes from the classic word game Scrabble.

- | What is the catch of your own idea? What new does it introduce | + | In Bookword Adventures you get to fight actual enemies with words |
- | Paragrap or couple decribing your project | + | \\ |
+ | The idea is to form words from a 4x4 grid of letters, so 16 letters. New letters are generated | ||
+ | words used by the player, and only allows each word to be used once. However, the notification for this is currently the same as for an invalid word. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MooCow gives the player a nice, cow friendly environment to practise their wording skills. You can now enjoy cows even if you're allergic! | ||
+ | |||
+ | MooCow has a build in dictionary containing over 128000 words and of course the awesomest special effects available on the market! Ask yourself how can you live without the rotating buttons? You'll want them all your Android apps from now on! | ||

+ | We now have a basic understanding on the Android development which I hope was the goal of this codecamp. In addition we have an awesome MooCow to spend our time with! | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Some Parts Missing ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | What we would do, if we had infinite time: | ||
+ | * UI-improvements: | ||
+ | * audio feedback (praise for completed words, etc) | ||
+ | * high score lists, possibility to restart | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bugs/ | ||
+ | * Sometimes crashes when Activity is brought to front while application process is running: wordlist reading leaks memory? | ||
+ | * Timer interacts oddly with the main thread, how to have it called only at set points? | ||
