How Chrome Crushed My Dreams of Multilingual Word Game Dominance

Aw, Snap!

I was feeling great. I had just announced my bilingual word game, Bilingdle, on social media, and the immediate response was overwhelmingly positive, especially among my friends and family on Facebook. Several months of work in my free time were being validated by this pleasant reception. But then someone mentioned the game had crashed on their phone. Another person said the same and sent me a screenshot.

So the deadline for the Android Developer Challenge 2 has come and gone, and I did not submit an entry. It wasn’t for a lack of trying though. This was entirely a spare time project and I worked on it 3 to 5 days a week for an hour or more at a time. I’m still not comfortable going into specifics about the project because I think it’s still a viable project. I do still hope to release it to the public at some point.

I haven’t posted lately about Barra de Español or the Biblefeed Project because my free time has been split among other projects and I have not been able to return to these two for the moment. Barra de Español is still awaiting approval on addons.mozilla.org to be put in the public section, so I don’t want to make further improvements to it until that happens.
