Thank you for the suggestions! A few things:
- Volume settings are on the roadmap for the next update. Currently muting music/sfx can be done in the DOS version via `wordhopr setup` and setting the midi/sfx drivers to "NONE", but in the DOSBox builds this is tricky to get to so yeah, a proper in-game setting is needed
- Mouse controls are, likewise, on the roadmap
- Controlscheme toggles and custom highlight colors are definitely doable, I'll save them for the update after this next one
- Key rebinding could be a bit tricky, but I'll see what I can do in the future.
- I'd love to put in a bigger wordlist, but I'm up against the constraints of what can fit on a 1.44MB diskette. I still have some room left, but I'd prefer to save it for additional features unrelated to the wordlist. I could probably sneak in country and continent names though
- The lack of an explanation of what words are valid/how scoring works stems from me wanting to keep the tutorial as short as possible, so I'll need to figure out a place to put some of that extra info. The DOS version comes with a readme which could be a good place to put it, but it's moreso designed for troubleshooting (and modern OS players won't be able to see it normally)
- Word score preview is a huge oversight, I'll move that into the next update lol
- Unlocks, not sure.
Overall, good stuff, I'll keep this all in mind for future updates!
