Word Attack is a suite of games, as such it is harder to describe and promote than would otherwise be the case. Therefore I decided to take a more focussed concept and spin it off in a stand alone format - hence Wordsearch Attack.
This update includes a number of changes, some of which are to keep it in line with Wordsearch Attack.
To simplify the starting of wordsearch games, I've simplified the board list by introducing Cuboid, Cylinder, Grid and Hex shape classes, rather than specifically sized shapes such as the 7x7x7 cube, 40x19 cylinder etc. When you select a shape class you now need to specify the dimensions to use - Note that this will allow the creation of very large boards, your hardware may not be up to running such large shapes!! Additionally, instead of selecting a dictionary, personality, familiarity etc, you now select a word list. Word lists can be dictionaries or actual lists of words, but in Word Attack can also be personalities (Wordsearch Attack does not have personalities). Also added optional cell edging to boards.
The Word Hunt game gets similar updates to the board creation - Note that the larger boards will need more hardware to run them.
BattleBoards do not get the new board selection. This is because they have boards from the board designer. Instead the board designer gets these changes, so you can select a shape and it's sizes and create a BattleBoard for those dimensions. Once created you can then use it in the BattleBoard game.
