Letters

Fun with drag and drop letters.

Hi, this is my first Opera Unite App.

You can make words by "dragging&dropping letters".

This is only start version, and it's really buggy and lots of things need to be done.
I'm still a little crazy about whole Unite API, so please be kind =)

I would appreciate some help with developing - for example, how do I set which icon will be used here on unite.opera.com? There is four icon tags in config.xml, but it's obviously not enough.



New in v1.1:
- Brighter colors
- CSS Text shadow
- New font (Web Fonts support is necessary)
- App should work in Opera 10+, FF 3.5.5+, Chrome 3+

New in v2.0:
- Border around (It looks better in browsers with box-shadow support)
- Faster data transfer
- Letters are not "jumping", but moving (which makes nice effect on start)
- Some bug-fixes

New in v2.1:
- Letter configuration for admin. (You can choose which letters use)
- Faster data transfer (many many changes - please report bugs because there might be a lots of them)
- User counter(One Tab/Window = 1 user)
- Lots of bug-fixes
- issue: Letters with ASCII higher then 255 are black

WolfHook: You are welcome =)

WiFiLeech: That is because Opera still has some bugs with font-face in CSS .. I can't fix this.

Well I have just spent about 10 minutes dragging letters around to form expletives and vulgar words. I'm sure you did not create this app for that purpose but I thought it was fun.

10 minutes more than I have used any other Opera Unite application thanks!

James132: that would require File I/O which I never use - but perhaps sometimes i will learn it and add it to this app =)

yespa: weird. This is Opera function and the script of App shouldn't have any effect on it.

I love this App. But I really hope next version has a _Save_ feature of some type. Even if it doesn't save the positions but just the Current Alphabet characters would be a great start.

lilmoder: It's because Opera 10.5pa doesn't support web-fonts from some reason. I will upload screenshot from Opera 10.1 soon =)

Awesome :smile: Love the animation.
But there's different, a lot thinner font than in screenshot :< Arial or smth...

So, what do you think about v2.0 =) ?

By BS-Harou, # Dec 23, 2009 10:11:46 PM

User avatar
I've got already v2.0 and I have to keep waiting for 1.1 approve P:

Opera has that web-font support, so I suggest something like this http://www.dafont.com/bpreplay.font
Anything simple and rounded and not-Comic-Sans would be fine actually :smile:

lilmoder:
brighter-color -> agree
css shadow -> I'll try it and see how it looks like =)
background -> I've got actually lots of plans where the whole site will look different (mainly to solve resolution issues)
user counter -> I'll try it and hope I'll be capable of doing it.
different font -> which do you suggest?

By BS-Harou, # Dec 22, 2009 10:08:02 AM

Great app! I suggest: brighter colors for letters, css shadow for letter, fridge or whiteboard like background, user counter. Also, a different font. Comic Sans is just.. painful.
