Internet Scrabble Club

September 26th 2007 13:04

The Internet Scrabble Club, or ISC, is an online gaming site where Scrabble players compete in real time against other humans or computer programs. It was created by "Carol" in the 1990s as a school project. The ISC now has approximately 200,000 members, including several world and national champions.

Potential players must go to the home page here to download the interface program, WordBiz. They must also create an online handle and password.

Players start games either by sending or accepting a "seek," or sending a match request. A seek is a request for a game with certain parameters, including the time limit (an integer between 3 and 60), the type of challenge (known as single, double 5-points and void), and the minimum and maximum ratings criteria that the other player must meet. Players can either send a seek and wait for it to be accepted, or accept someone else's by typing the command PLAY X for the player known as X. Players can also match opponents using the command MATCH X, which sends a match request to X and no other player. X may then either accept or decline this request.

The ISC was created and is run by the player known as Carol (real name Florin Gheorghe), who lives in Romania, hence the URL www.isc.ro. The other administrator is Herve, who is the 2005 French national champion, Hervé Bohbot.

The ISC is a free service; no member need pay to use the site's facilities. However there are benefits for contributory or support players, who pay an annual subscription. These benefits include the right to play against computer players, to save games in a library, to use an examiner program that suggests solutions for game positions, and many others.

Zuma

September 19th 2007 12:26

Don’t let things spiral out of control!

Creeping like the great snake Quetzalquatl, the coloured balls spin steadily toward the abyss. You must stop them! Shoot balls from the frog’s mouth into groups of the same colour to make them disappear. When you fill the Zuma meter, no more balls are added to the chain. Clear them all out to move on to the next level!

The frog’s head will track your mouse pointer. Left-click to launch the ball from its mouth. (The bead on its back shows the next ball; right-click to switch the current ball with that one.)

Fire your ball into two or more of the same colour to make them disappear. Balls continually roll along the track of the spiral. Don’t let them reach the skull’s mouth!

You must earn enough points to fill the Zuma meter. Hit coins, set up combos and chains, and shoot through a gap to earn extra points. Get help by blasting balls that have special powers.

Genre: Puzzle
Time to Play: 10 minutes
Difficulty: medium
Available From: MSN Games
To play Zuma, visit here and choose you preferred mode of play up the top.
