N.A.N.Y. 2019 -- ScrabbleScore
mouser:
Yeah, always better to zip an exe i think, just less risk of antivirus false positives, and less chance people just auto download and run a random executable.
We should probably at this point make the forum insist on not uploaded exe files directly.
Ath:
due small size i wonder how you calculate legitime words and wich languages will it support.

.NET can result in very small .exe files, as most of the code is in the framework, as opposed to Delphi, C++, etc., where all runtime stuff is (usually) linked into the .exe
KodeZwerg:
Word Databases are often a few megabyte in size, no matter if linked within .exe or as external file.
But okay, will peek into source to get answer.
Delphi non-Vcl would also end with a small 30kb .exe file thats being able to display an edit line and a label.
C++ would do it even more smaller i guess.
But no matter of what galactic compiler you use, word database size stay same.
dmytron:
You can call me a lazy programmer ;D. This app currently doesn't have a word database included in it. All it does is adding the values of every letter in the word and showing the complete score. This way, you can calculate the value of any word, regardless of whether it is legitimate or not.
But if it's needed I can look into adding word database. However, then I can't add too many languages, because I'm not sure there is a word database for every language in a simple format.

I don't think lazy... that's what I thought it did from the start! ;D You shouldn't need a word database in order to calculate a score... You just need to store what the non-1 point letters are, assume the others are 1-point, and then from the indicators of multipliers, you can figure out the score!
