| - | The idea is to form words from a 4x4 grid of letters, so 16 letters. New letters are generated to the place of used ones from a pool used in Scrabble. Differing from the originals in MooCow user playes against time. Committing proper words increases the timer according to the length and letters used in the word. Same principles also apply to the scoring. | + | The idea is to form words from a 4x4 grid of letters, so 16 letters. New letters are generated to the place of used ones from a pool used in Scrabble.

| + | ===== Some Parts Missing ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | What we would do, if we had infinite time: | ||
| + | * UI-improvements: | ||
| + | * audio feedback (praise for completed words, etc) | ||

| + | |||
| + | Bugs/ | ||

| + | * Timer interacts oddly with the main thread, how to have it called only at set points? | ||
