Part 10: That's All Folks!

iPhone Minds Developer's Journal - Crossword Puzzle
Well, our two week developer's feature has come to an end. I hope you all enjoyed the various discussions and behind-the-scene tips and tricks. Maybe we'll do this again in the future.

Without further ado, here's a link to the final game:


I've also embedded the game below (though it's more fun to play on the iPhone):


Here are some things to keep in mind while playing the game. If the page gets refreshed mid-game, you'll have to start over again. Try not to open new Safari windows when playing on an iPhone or iPod Touch. If you need to open other windows, return to the game window before exiting Safari or turning off your phone, otherwise the page will automatically refresh when you come back to the game after returning to Safari. Also, two clues are repeated in the puzzle. This is not a glitch. Get creative and think about what the two answers might be based on the size of the words you're working with.

UPDATE: It appears that the 1.1.4 iPhone and iPod Touch firmware update preserves the state of Safari "tabs/windows." Meaning, you can start the crossword game in one window and open another without having to worry about loosing your place in the game and starting all over again. I'd encourage everyone to download the 1.1.4 update.

Enjoy!
