2026-10-13: Solar Expats can now save a game to a file and open it again, so you can keep a game even in a private window, or move it to another computer. Both games now ask before New Game replaces a game you have not finished. The Timeline Maker, Quiz Game Board Builder and Classroom Display now keep your work in the browser even when there is not room for all of your pictures: they leave out the largest pictures first and tell you which ones. And the CODEX app can now open the biggest codebook the Codebook Maker can make.

2026-10-13: Every page that saves, opens, imports or exports your work now tells you if anything is left out, cut short or could not be read, instead of quietly dropping it. Saved work the page cannot read is kept as a copy instead of being saved over, and opening a file over your work asks first. That covers the flash cards, timelines, quiz boards, word games, phonics tools, scoreboard, classroom display, readers, codebooks, firewall builder, slide templates, and both games.

2026-10-13: The Enhanced Reading Page Builder can load a vocabulary list from a file, so you no longer have to type in every word and gloss one at a time. Load a list of words with English glosses, then (if you like) a second list with glosses in your students’ home language, and the builder matches them up. It reads plain text (“word - gloss”, one per line), spreadsheets saved as CSV, and lists copied from a spreadsheet, a document, or Quizlet. You can still add or change words by hand afterwards, and save the finished list as a spreadsheet to use again.

You can also save the whole form to a file and open it again later: the text, vocabulary, pictures, and settings. Use it to finish a reading another day, make a version for a different class, or give it to a colleague to adapt for their students.

2026-10-13: New: the Classroom Scoreboard keeps score for class games on the projector, for two to ten teams. Choose big numbers, a bar graph, a race to the finish line, jars that fill with marbles, a stadium scoreboard with a game clock, or a tug-of-war; tally marks, the Latin American square tally, or the Japanese 正 tally; or Roman, Mayan, and Egyptian numerals, a soroban (abacus), and the digits of a dozen other scripts, from Arabic and Hindi to Thai and Chinese. Switch looks at any time without losing the scores. Give points with a click or the number keys, hide the scores before the last round, and keep a separate board for each class.

If I did not include a counting system you would like to use, please email me. If I can, I will add it.

2026-10-13: The Readability Checker results are much shorter. They start with an “At a glance” box: the reading level, the English learner level, and what to watch for. Every other section opens and closes, and the page remembers which ones you keep open. A new Print button lets you choose what goes on paper, down to the English learner levels you teach, so a report takes a few pages instead of eight.

2026-10-10: New: the Timeline Maker.
