I've played through a bit of this game thinking about how the game and the achievement logic would work.

The game tracks many things, such as your score, how many letters you have selected, which letters are selected and which tile has which letter.

The game board has 52 tiles, it's possible to use the letters on the tiles or the letters currently selected to not only make achievements based off length/score given, but even to have achievements for creating certain words.

Basic progression achievements such as level reached and reach "x" amount of score would be done simply by checking the player has earned equal to or more than a specific score/level requirement.

I've decided to make an achievement to spell out the word "Retro", to do this, I will need to check that the value of letters 1-5 are equal to the letters r e t r o

I found that the value for letter A = 41 and it goes up per letter, so B = 42 and C=43 etc etc



To make this achievement work, I found the address for letter of 1-5 and the total score address

I made conditions to check that letter 1 = r (52) 2 = e (45) 3 = t (5) 4 = r (52) 5 = o (4f)

Then I simply had a condition to check that the total score had increased whilst these letters were in place, thus checking that the player had created a word and earned score using these specific letters in this specific order

anyone know what the criteria are for getting a diamond letter?

Edit- I got one. Think you need to have a word with at least 2 sapphires in it and 5000(?)+ points
