Wordipelago

This weekend just gone I decided to do a Facebook app, mainly as I've never tried before.  Yep, it is a PBBG.

Normal sign up here: http://wordipelago.com/

Facebook signup here: http://apps.facebook.com/wordipelago/

Think "MMO Scrabble"

Wordipelago is off to an interesting start. The following is a PHP generated image of the game board, after a week+ or so:



Each gray pixel is a scrabble tile I wonder if it will start to look like fractal geometry, or just some random blob.

The game is now accessible through http://wordipelago.com/ with an account like any other PBBG, as well as the original Facebook interface. I'm not spending huge amounts of time on this, but it is interesting to see the game expand. It seems (predictably?) to be attracting players of the puzzle or sim game variety.

That does look interesting! You should really share another image in a few months or so, that would be awesome .

Two weeks on at around 70000 tiles placed by 500 or so players. Each pixel below is 1 to 4 scrabble tiles (a 2x2 region). Light gray is lower tile density. Dark gray is higher tile density.

That's awesome :O
