PLEASE NOTE
This is a pre-release, and I may re-upload the attached files with bug fixes if needed. Once the release is tested thoroughly over the next week, I'll release version 6.0 final.

New features

  • Puzzle Scribe - Write puzzles faster, straight from an input box
  • Puzzle Properties - Analyze your puzzles for total letters, unique letters, and the RSTLNE ratio
  • Wheel Settings - Fine-tune your wheel for values, special spaces/items, and number of bankrupts
  • Wipe scores only on exit - Clear scores while retaining the puzzles for later use
  • Toss-Up puzzles - When loading a puzzle, append T to the puzzle number to start a Toss-Up
  • No more vowels, no more consonants - Inform players when there's no more vowels/consonants in the puzzle
  • Final Spin upgrade - A special banner appears when starting the Final Spin. Final Spins will no longer land on Bankrupt
  • Two players view - Play with just two contestants without any extra score boxes
  • Editable game name - Useful if you don't want your game to be called WHEEL OF FORTUNE
  • Winter backdrop - Blue sky, white ground. Ideal for seasonal events

Changes

  • The Free Play wedge, Wild Card, and $10000 wedge are now disabled on the wheel by default
    • This change is intended for those not familiar with the show's advanced nuances. You can re-enable these in Wheel Settings.
  • The back button on the wheel slides moves to the top
    • This helps reduce cursor movement
  • Clicking a player's totals score box, in addition to their totals dollar sign, now lets you edit their totals score.
    • This should make it easier for users to figure out how to adjust totals scores.
  • Clicking the right light pillar now changes the backdrop on the fly
    • Previously, it'd just briefly glow the puzzle board, which felt lame
  • In windowed mode, the cursor no longer disappears on its own
    • To ensure this happens, always start the game from the title slide
  • The stadium and valentine's backdrops have color adjustments
    • A stylistic change where the wheel is on the ground, rather than the sky
  • Many other minor UI and VBA improvements
