Puzzle Baron To Do List

June3

Bunch of little things I need to get done this month on the Puzzle Baron sites.  I’m making the list public here as a reminder to myself (and as a means of motivation).  Right now the major issues to deal with this month are:

  1. Patchwords and Drop Quotes both need a “Recent Games” function. We’ve implemented this on many of our other sites and folks have found it useful - need to do the same on Patchwords and Drop Quotes.  Mainly this comes in handy for folks who play for “Percentage Solved” - due to the nature of internet gaming, an errant page refresh or a connection hiccup can result in games loading multiple times or half-loading, etc.  This will give folks another chance to complete a previously loaded game so as to maintain their percentage rates.
  2. Drop Quotes is having a persistent problem with dashes. This one should be easy to fix but it’s been dogging me for a while - dashes are not coming out as spaces in the playing board every time, so occasionally a quote with a section like “something something - and then another….” will appear like “SOMETHINGAND”.  Very annoying.  (Sorry Drop Quoters!)
  3. Logic Puzzle label images not always fully loading. Traffic for www.Logic-Puzzles.org has really taken off lately, and all the extra load appears to be causing label images to occasionally not load completely.   The fix for this is easy - I need to preload them in a better way during the initialization stage - so there should be no problems here.  Just a matter of putting in some time to figure out the best method.

    could we have an archive possible - if you are going on a long trip or will be away from the computer for an extended time, it would be nice to be able to print more than 10 puzzles

    Thanks
