Hello!
I've uploaded a new version 1.3 that improves readability and some other stuffs.
1️⃣First I've added a larger white border on texts having a background. Take a look at the lead paragraph under the title. It's slightly better on the second image! Right?
If you are a Playdate developer or just interested, here is my technique to add a 4px text border on the Playdate.
Of course, there is probably a cleaner way to do that, but it's pretty quick.
2️⃣Then I've enlarged the clue panel to have more padding between the border and the text, it should be noticable on longer texts, especially in french.
3️⃣Furthermore I've made the clues punctuation more consistent.
4️⃣And finally, I've added a message to warn you when the last clue is reached in a puzzle so you can stop looping🛑📜 (which allows you to avoid losing points needlessly if you try to make a big score).
As I move forward on an other game, I learn a lot on making Playdate games better. I'd love to have a better framerate. So see you soon!
