Tower-Words

 

This is a single-player, Scrabble-type game made for Facebook. The player tries to make words the way a player would in Scrabble, but the goal is to build a tower of words. The players will get points, in the same manner as Scrabble, and can spend these points on a variety of bonuses.

 

The most useful thing I learned from this experience is how to deal with loading external assets. We needed to load the sound files from external assets, and I did this asynchronously. This caused a variety of problems, as I took no measures to ensure the files had finished loading before using them. This was my first real experience loading assets in such a manner, and now I know how to deal with it properly.
