Pocket PC or Smartphone

Info/description:

Crosswords (or xwords, to use its Sourceforge project name) is a free, open source implementation of the rules of Scrabble for handhelds. It is currently shipping on PocketPC (including Smartphone) and PalmOS.

Crosswords formerly shipped on the eBookman, but that platform is no longer actively supported, and is not described here. This site concentrates on the PocketPC and PalmOS versions.

Update Description

v4.2:
- Fix bug causing whole board to be redrawn when focus moved between it and the tray.
- Remove the "rc1" designation from the About box.
v4.2 beta 6 (23-11-2008):
- Make scoreboard region holding remaining tile count focussable and clickable, and on click put up the Remaining Tiles dialog.
- Resize New game/Game info dialog based on number of players displayed.
- Add /Program Files/Crosswords, the location where .cab files put dictionaries, to the list searched on startup. Use OS function to find regardless of the language into which "Program Files" is translated. (Note: .cab files don't work for Smartphone yet.)
- Fix icons. Crosswords should now have a decent-looking icon on every size screen.
- Make focus travel over all tray tiles when tray is hidden (showing as ? marks.)
- Change how board and tray are drawn when focussed: highlight perimeter cells/ all tiles rather than drawing an opaque border.
- When moving cursor around board, don't skip occupied cells. Makes it easier to navigate. (Alt key now allows skipping for faster movement, but Smartphone doesn't have one.)
- Speed up calculation of correct size font for screen. Fix fit of "Rem:" tiles area for all screen sizes. Stop printing "Pts" as part of pending score display in tray since it doesn't fit on all screen sizes.
- Display check marks next to toggling menu items, e.g. "Full screen".
- Fixed bug: timer drawn in empty region on some screen sizes.
- Fixed bug: hint menu selection would sometimes also commit turn.
- Fixed bug: limits rect ignored for vertical hint search for first move only. This only effected touch-screen devices as there's no way to activate the hint rect with keys (yet).
