Last night, I had Eva take the Memory game for a spin and she uncovered a ridiculous amount of bugs. Amazing how a child uses software differently than an adult! In addition, I quickly realized that the "random placement" of the cards on the screen made the game difficult to use. While it was a cool feature from my perspective, the folks who tried out the app hated it. Thus, the random placement was replaced by a standard grid of cards. You can still move the cards around, though. I also fixed the bugs that Eva found.
I also added a "low score" feature (score = how many match attempts you make in a game). It keeps track of your all-time low score as you play the game - even across site/page visits. It accomplishes this using .NET Isolated Storage, which to me is a super powerful feature considering this is an app running on the web. I have not tested this feature on any operating system other than Vista. I have tested it in IE and FireFox, and it works just fine (not surprisingly).
