Update 1.3 Released on Marketplace

Over the past week I've been battling to get an update out to the marketplace with some fixes for Mo Words.

Here is a brief run down of some of the updates I've included:


  • Forgot Password link now lets you reset or change your password
  • Added push notifications for alerts outside of the game when new plays are made.
  • Added settings page with about and push notification opt-in.
  • Added the MS Ad Control to the trial version.
  • Added the ability to cancel new challenges.
  • Added the ability to force an end to a game where the opponent is not playing.
  • Added some shake detection but haven't got to fully test it on a device.
  • Added a bug fix for a situation where service errors would cause the app to crash ungracefully.

And, I think that is about it.  The latest numbers look like we have about 30 users with about 30 open games.  Not bad for no devices in the US.

Mo Words is Live!

Mo Words is now live in the marketplace.  Hopefully a couple of the 12 people who have devices right now give it a shot.





I'm working on some updates and hope to get them submitted tomorrow.  Here's what the update will include:

  • Sending encrypted information when registering.
  • Added ability to cancel new challenges.
  • Added ability to force the other player to resign if they haven't played in 36 hours.
  • Added some enhancements to board loading (still more work to be done there).
  • Reset Password functionality added (2 step process)

That's it for now.  I'm hoping to look into some AI opponent functionality next week.
