iPictionary is based on the popular game Pictionary where one person picks a random thing to draw while others have to guess their drawing.

1 Player Game Mode:

In 1 player game mode a player tries to guess what the computer is drawing. When the player guesses correctly 2 points are awarded for every second left on the timer in the round. If the player guesses correctly before the computer finished drawing then bonus points are awarded at 4 points per second left of the computer's drawing time (set on the options screen) divided by the proportion to the default CPU draw time.

2 Player Game Modes:

In two player mode a player and their friend can compete against each other to see who gets the highest score. When a two player game starts a host is chosen randomly and their name will be in yellow text. If the two players are disconnected from one another they will be given the option to continue where their friend will become a 'ghost' (name shown as gray text) and wont earn any more points.

2P CPU Always Draws Mode:

In 2 player game mode (CPU Always Draws) a player and a friend try to guess what the computer is drawing. When a player guesses correctly 2 points are awarded for every second left on the timer in the round. If the player guesses correctly before the computer finished drawing then bonus points are awarded at 4 points per second left of the computer's drawing time (based on the host's CPU Drawing Speed) divided by the proportion to the default CPU draw time.

2P Everyone Draws Mode:

In 2 player game mode (Everyone Draws) each player (including the computer) takes turns drawing a randomly selected object while the other players try to guess what it is before the timer runs out. If a player guessing another player's drawing guesses correctly they will get 3 points for every second left on the game timer, if the drawing player (excluding the computer player) stumps everyone they will receive 250 points for the round.

Options Explanations:

Your Name = The name you would like to go by. The default is the name found on your iOS device. This name will be shown on the screen in 1 and 2 player modes for others to see and will stored in your high scores records and the 2P high score records of those who you've played this game with.

CPU Name = What you'd like the computer player to be named. The default is Computer. This name is only shown to your device, even in 2 player modes.

CPU Drawing Speed: The amount of time (in seconds) it takes for a computer to draw an object. The default is 20 seconds. This option is only used in 2 player modes if you're the host, otherwise your friend's choice for this option is used instead.

CPU Guess Interval: The amount of time the Computer player takes to guess another player's drawing. The default for this option is 20 seconds. This option is only used in 2 Player (Everyone Draws) mode and only if your device is the host, otherwise your friend's choice for this option is used instead.
