I've completed my first game programming project and I wanted to pitch it here.

Ahem.

Do you love Boggle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boggle)? Do you run Windows? Are you dying to have some way of playing Boggle against your friends online? If you answered "yes" to all of these questions, then download Interboggle (http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~zwickd/interboggle.rar) right away! Interboggle is just like a normal Boggle set that all of your online friends can see at once. Word tabulation and scoring are done manually, to make it easier on me! Just start up Interboggle, agree on a random seed, input that seed, and start searching!

Be sure to read the included Readme file, even if you already know how to play Boggle, because I wrote it with much love and it shows.

I've always enjoyed playing, but every time that I play online I am beaten handily. But it is fun every once in a while.

Well, the advantage that Interboggle has over most online Boggle games is that it's only played between you and whomever you invite (or whomever invited you). That way you don't have to feel bad that you only got fifty points while the winner got like two hundred and twenty. (Unless he's the guy you're playing against.)

Well then if I get this I guess that I'll have to avoid playing you.

I graciously accept your compliment.

I unfortunately do not have Windows, and so cannot play your game.
Sorry, mate.

Dechy brings up a good point, and, I assure you, it is one that is being addressed. I am going to rewrite Interboggle in C++ and release it for all to enjoy! So...that'll come soon.
