I have written the free game 'Wordblaster' using in C# .Net.
It is a simple word game based around finding words by connecting them up from a grid of letters.
Download: Wordblaster.zip
Requirements: .net Framework 1.1 - Download from Microsoft: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
Install: Extract the .zip file to a temporary location and run setup.exe (as Administrator in Vista/Win7). The install should create a shortcut to the program on your desktop and a folder <Program Files>\Stressfree Solutions\Word Blaster. The executable file is Word Blaster.exe.
Instructions:
Start the game, and try to identify as many words of 3 letters or more in the jumbled grid in the time allowed. You are allowed to make connections up, down, and diagonally and can change direction. Enter your word by clicking on the letters and clicking on the last letter in your word twice.
For more, start the application and goto Help/Instructions.
Wordblaster History:
I wrote it a back in 2003 to teach myself .net/C# (I was a VB programmer before!).
Future enhancements:
I'm thinking of porting it from WinForms to use Silverlight and making it available to play on this site.
Please drop me an email if you have any feedback/questions on the game or if you would like a copy of the source code.
