hi all...
i'm looking for someone to build a clone of the word-game boggle. I'd like to work with a developer to create this app. I' am happy to fund this project and work out any arrangement which would be in the developers best interest.
in the iphone it is called wurddle (http://semisecretsoftware.com/wurdle/), it is probably the best boggle clone out currently. there are several apps out for winmo (Wordly, Scramble, etc) but they are all rubbish; actually, Wordly is very good except that the developer didnt pay attention to several important factors( the algorithim for letter distribution is not thought out, so you can never make any real words due to the consonant-vowel distribution).
i am an avid word game enthusiast and would like to build this to proper specs (most updated dictionary, various dictionary options, 5x5 and 4x4 optionality, proper letter algorithim, i could go on....)
please note i am not looking to steal anyones work nor am i requesting warez. i would like to build this from the ground up and incur whatever costs are necessary to do so.
i am not super rich but i can afford to fund this to a degree, perhaps fully. mostly because it is killing me that the iphone has this app and my awesome hd2 has junk. i've attached a few pictures of wurdle, wordly, and actual boggle to give you an idea of what im looking for.
let's create something great!
thanks all,
jason

Jason, i have deleted the post in QnA so you dont get spread out replys, cheers.
Hmm...This seems like a rather interesting project. I could take this on! I'm not the best dev out there, but this would def. serve as a great learning block for me, and I could definitely get it done. I just need the ideas and how you want it to look/work, and I can do the rest
PM me or email me at [email protected]

awesome! emailing...
i love this site. love it.
Yes, like the idea of the program, You need a dictionairy for every language you create it in.
This will be one of the best game with a very good learning effect for mom and da for her childs . And for the game freaks under us ...
I can help you with the development if needed but actually I would like a program like this:
- http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cijfers_en_Letters
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_(game_show)
Does it already exist too?
i would play this game all day, looking forward to it.

@the0ne:
that's a good sample, but there is no trail version. So it is not the solution to see how it works or do some tests before pay. I think in this case we must find out the wheel a second time .

actually that game sucks. i bought it, like many others. they all suck. there is at least one inherintly wrong thing in every single one of these boggle clones that make it nauseating for me to play. it has the right idea but clearly no developer understands how to create a great, realistic boggle app; which is why i have decided to step in and do this myself.
that game show thing looks pretty cool actually.

Yes, it does.
Could you make a little storyboard what functions, actions, options this program should have. I'm interested in the development but don't know for sure what should be in or out.
Hey guys! I'm new to the forums, although XDAForums has helped me a lot before, thanks for that!
Anyway, I'm looking for developers, specially programmers interested in joining my small team of devs for a new and innovative concept on an android launcher, something very different from what has been done so far.
We have a few artists already, and conceptualists(such as myself), but programmers seem to be the hardest thing to find, and I know exactly why.
At the moment I don't want to show anything in this thread, however, if someone would like to join, I'd share all the details on what we want to achieve.
This would be a free-time project, however, if you're like me then you can put as much time as you want into it, which is appreciated!
Thank you very much and hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hey all! I'm really sorry, I usually only lurk/look around this site, so I don't know if this is the right way to ask for stuff-
To be specific, i'm starting a company project (I run a non-profit organization) that helps people out around the world. I'm trying to change android OS to only do specific things (starting a specific app when you turn it on, etc). I want it to basically be stripped down to only do specific things. If someone wants to help out, can you point me to a place to understand how the OS structure is set up? I saw the programming page, but if it's no trouble, i'd like a little direction. If someone could PM me, that'd be cool, or respond here. I know most of you do this as a hobby, but a small payment for some direction wouldn't be out of the question.
I'm really sorry for the weird request, but i'm just starting this and thought i'd ask here first.
Thanks!
So, i've been researching around the interwebs, watching how tos, learning some code, the good old stuff. I've been experimenting with kik mods recently. I know, I know, why kik mods? I am just trying to find one with full user customization. Sounds silly and stupid but i think it'd be cool. Reason behind this thread is because i am in dire need for help on anything developing wise. I wanted to try it out for myself and what not a better way to break my virgin developing card than with a fully customizable kik! If you are interested in helping me, please leave feel free to reply. I just need someone with any developing experience. Kik relies on Smali language as well as Java and xcl. I will take opinions on something else i should do with kik as well.
Also, I just need help with how to do pretty much anything this mod will require.
I really like the idea behind CopperheadOS, and I would love to have a ROM for my G5 that doesn't have all the "Google Creep" associated with it. Unfortunately, they're only developing for the Nexus/Pixel lines.
Does anyone know if someone plans on taking this on to make a version available for our devices? If not, is there anywhere I could feasibly find enough info to attempt it myself/someone famously patient here that would assist?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
P.S. I hope this is the right place to post this. The rules in the DEV forum seem like this wouldn't be the right kind of post for that particular area.
