Cool! Please post all bug reports at the end of this thread. Don't PM me or email them to me. That way we won't get duplicated efforts and it'll keep everything transparent and fair. Happy hunting!
Already found a bug: I was playing piramid, clicked on restart this hand, then I clicked on choose another game, and chose scorpion. Suddenly, the screen goes white, and the game crashed and took me back to the homescreen. I have an ipod touch 4g with the latest software installed
Yeah, tried to redo it with the same settings, but everything went fine, so it's not really a bug then But! found another bug: when I exited the app and reopened it and wanted to change the background and the cards, the theme would change but the name next to it remains the same. Here's ap pic as proof: http://twitpic.com/3sh5go
Feedback Hi, Here's some feedback, based on using the game on an iPad: 1. The opening splash screen disappears automatically. I wanted to read the contents, but the splash screen disappears too quickly. 2. The game initially starts before I am ready. It would be better if users can choose when to start the game. The timer also starts immediately, so if you're not ready to begin, you need to restart the game when you're ready to begin, to reset the timer. 3. When you go to the menu page, the timer keeps counting. It shouldn't. The game should 'pause'. 4. In the rules for Classic Klondike it states "Piles can be built up on the Tableau by alternating color as illustrated". It's unclear what "as illustrated" refers to, as there is no illustration on that page. Looks like a cut and paste error. 5. There is a timer in the game, but there's no mention of the timer in the rules. Therefore the purpose of the timer is unclear. Although times appear in the high score table. 6. The "options" button has no text beneath it. This is inconsistent as all other icons do. 7. The options screen doesn't reset to the top of the page. So if someone opens the options, the top option setting may be half cut-off. 8. The "drag cards" option looks far better than the tap method, but it is turned off by default. I recommend you set the drag setting to "ON" by default. 9. There is no sound effect when cards are moved in the classic game, even when the sound effects are turned on in the settings. 10. The statistics page lists that I have lost some games. This is incorrect as at this time, I have not finished a whole game. The statistics would be more accurate if there was another category saying "Games Quit". ie: Quiting a game does not always mean the person lost. They may have received a phone call or just been checking a game out, without wanting this to be a "loss". 11. It's not immediately obvious that this game contains multiple card games. This is a big selling point for the game, but I only discovered this after playing the default game for a while. This key feature shouldn't be hidden away. This would be more clear if there was a regular menu screen at the start of the game. And the splash screen should state how many games are included (maybe it does, I didn't get time to read it). Don't hide all your work away!! 12. Auto-rotation is inconsistent. The game-play screen rotates in two orientations when the device is rotated. The options menu screen does all four directions. The "new game" menu does not rotate at all. This makes it unclear when you can turn the device. 13. There's a white flickering bar which appears at the top and bottom of the screen when screen rotation occurs. 14. When the user chooses a background color, you could apply this setting to the menu screens as well. 15. The game crashed one time. I was in the "Menu" screen when the game abruptly exited. Possibly a memory leak, since I have started games multiple times without issue previously. 16. The game-play screen does not list the name of the game being played. If you open the game after a month away, you may not remember which type of game you were playing. 17. When you start a new game, the "deck shuffling" sound plays before the game-play screen opens (this may be intentional to avoid an opening animation). 18. The Scorpion help screen includes no information on scoring. 19. The Bankers Solitaire help screen includes no information on scoring. 20. The Free Cell Solitaire help screen includes no information on scoring. 21. The rules for the Golf game talk about the stock and foundations, however these don't appear to be part of the game; at least they are not shown when the game starts. You may need to review all of the rules to ensure they reflect the selected game. I don't know the game rules well enough to spot issues. 22. In the pyramid game and in Golf, it is not immediately clear that there are cards off the screen (below). Perhaps you need to scroll over the playing area at the start of the game, so users know there are off-screen elements. Other games may also be affected. 23. Major issue: When the 'drag cards' option is turned to On, it's not possible to drag the cards to the off-screen elements. This makes it impossible to play your turn. To resolve this, the screen should scroll as the user drags, or the drag cards option should be disabled for games with off-screen elements. 24. In the statistics screen, clicking on "reset" caused most values to reset, however the "current running total" remained at 34. 25. In the rules, the spacing before each paragraph sometimes varies. eg: in "Spider (1 suit)" one of the sections has more leading padding (lines) before the other sections. Minor issue, but easy to fix. Aside from these issues, the games are easy to play and the game-play screen looks attractive. Good work... I hope this helps. Do I get the App Store card
Wow! Really appreciate the feedback. I'd say you are in the lead so far I will give it a few more days as there are surely more bugs. Things that break are my main concern but I'll include feedback on possible improvements too Thanks again, a great list! Dom
Cards not all showing... The game started with only some of the cards showing. As if the cards were displayed in landscape, with the ipad in portrait. ie: only the left most cards were visible, as if the rest of the cards were off-screen to the right. The ipad was on my desk at the time. When I picked it up, the cards immediately moved into place, therefore not a big issue, but still unexpected. I thought this might be due to closing the game in one orientation and opening in another. However, I'm unable to replicate this. I have a screenshot available if you want it. (PM me an email addy), but it's probably not worth worrying about, unless it recurs. I didn't know Apple provide developers with bug reports. I would be very interested to see an example of what they send out.
I have been combing through the game and just to be fair have not read anyone's answers so these are the glitches and pieces I have noticed. I am still compiling so this post will be edited to have the results. Thanks for the opportunity.
