“Crosswords with a twist”

Well I’m almost done with KRIZL. A crossword game “With a twist” as I’ve decided to catchily slogan it. It’s a word game created in the amazing HAXE NME and will hopefully be rolling out to IOS/Android and the web in the coming weeks.

It’s in beta testing now! If you’d like to try it for Android head here and download

Twist and turn the crosswords to find the completed

Help me with my word puzzle game

Mike — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:13:40 +0000

Hello, if you’ve got a minute to spare and want some procrastination opportunities I’m looking for some help working through the levels of a new game.

It’s a crossword game but there’s no need to work out questions, it’s all about picking a theme and filling in a crossword sheet with words relating to it. Themes can be as loose or tight as you like and feel free to make them humorous.

Fill in the crossword below and submit it to me, if you want to save your work for later or share it simply copy the share link. You can change the size on the right hand menu below.

This is a reverse dictionary page http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml Type your category in for some suggestions.

(You can now use arrow keys to move around the grid and pressing shift toggles between horizontal and vertical )

Everyone who submits a puzzle that makes it into the game will get a credit. The game is going to be on iPad/iPhone/Android Tablets/Android 2.2 Phones.

If you think anyone would be interested please forward them on.

Thanks, Mike

After the break wordpress text

Mike — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:36:31 +0000

I like to add a little description of what’s to come when clicking read more on a wordpress article and sometimes add preview images and thumbs. Here’s a simple little way of adding an after_break tag for posts that is ignored when on the full page.

Add the following to your template function.

function after_the_break_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
if( !is_single() ){
return $content;
}else{
return "";
}
}
add_shortcode( 'after_break', 'after_the_break_shortcode' );

you can now enter

[after_break]

html5 YouTube embeds for WordPress oembed

Mike — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:42:24 +0000

Oembed is brilliant! If you’ve got an URL, a simple call to a page and you can get back a lovely bit of JSON telling you how to embed the content. If you haven’t read up on it here is the standards page http://oembed.com/

WordPress by default requests the standard swf embed from youtube. If you want to update your template to use the iFrame html5 player, YouTube have an iframe=1 parameter you can add when sending the oembed request. You can override the existing oembed provider inside your wordpress template using the following.

wp_oembed_add_provider( '#http://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i',

'http://www.youtube.com/oembed?iframe=1', true );

I’ve added it to my functions.php in my template, you could edit the class-oembed.php file directly if you wanted but any future updates will overwrite it.

Now all your clips will come through in html5 for all to see!
