I moved some posts to a new special thread "Updates". You may subscribe it and recieve an email if there is an update available. This thread is read-only.
Some folks wish to use a time control. This feature has been implemented in version 3.0.6. You can specify the time per move as min:sec (only if game is running). Time control will not affect computers move. If network is active, the given value is transmitted to other players that can accept or reject similar to dialog for a new word. A new value can be requested by each player at any time. The new value is activated after click on next player. The count down is fed back in the progress bar. If you run out of time the next player is activated without any request. Users with an old program version can be ask for time control and may answer correctly but will recieve an "unknown message" afterwards. The player that requested time control will not be informed about that incompatibility but time control will be activated - of course on his game only.
