V1.2 Feb 12, 2006 1:27:21 AM

The classic guessing game Hangman. When connected to the internet wordlists are retrieved using AJAX, when playing offline there are 100 movie titles available to guess.

Version 1.2.0 adds an AJAX backend to get wordlists from, adds new categories to guess from - starting with 150 countries - and prevents Opera's keyboard shortcuts from interfering.

Please let me now if you run into any errors.

the game tells you that you already used a letter if you retype it o.O

Cute game but I wish it kept track of which letters have already been guessed.

Good little game, found a problem however. When I type a letting which matchs one of my auto-complete words for the wand, it pops up in the top right.

Something I've noticed across all widgets, is it not possible to save the setup and load the previous colour and category when Opera closes and re-opens?

Updated the widget and added several new features:

- Stopped Opera's keyboard shortcuts from interfering by adding a hidden input field intercepting every keystroke.

- Added the possibility to choose a category to guess a word from, the first new category is 'Countries' with 150 words. The currently selected category is displayed right beneath the logo.

- When connected to the internet the widget gets categories and wordlists from a PHP backend on my server using AJAX, otherwise the 100 movie titles from previous versions are available. This makes it easy to add new wordlists as I just have to copy them to my server.

Have fun and please let me know if you run into any errors or have further suggestions on how to improve this widget.

I disabled the V shortcut in my keyboard ini file. I think the problem (for now) is a result of widgets being on top and the web page retaining focus to mouse clicks and key strokes.

As for the widget... This is simply great! I love it!

Yeah, realized that too

.

Awfully I don't know if I can work around that somehow but I'll definatly look into this.

Cool, but after hitting "V" I got the Opera message box:

"Opera requires additional files to enable voice. The download is approximately 10.5MB. Do you want to download and install the voice libraries now?"
