The game Magic Writer , as the name might suggest centers on writing. So the game could use at least a function for typing words.
In magic writer the player can choose between three words to write. Each letter in the word that you enter in the correct order will be changed to a different colour so one can keep track of which letter have already been written and which ones are left. When a word is finished the embodiment of […]
