Uh, I really like these kind of word games!
Nice small Game.
This one is a ton of fun, I'm going to be spending some time on it. I'm glad you back-to-front'ed the words, I didn't want to spoil them when I read source!
Nice little code, 112 puzzles in 23 lines. Wow!
I am still wondering, what is possible to do with 25 lines of code :-)
Awesome program, chapeau !
From my 6 y.o daughter: "I liked it that we just guessed it right at the end"
From me: One of my favourites, amazing that you could fit that many puzzle words within one screen, and I found it quite addictive to play :)
So happy to hear both you and your daughter enjoyed it!
I like this one very much. The words aren't as well hidden as one could wish. But that is a minor concern, and only to those studying the code ;-)
No; to me, the real star of the show is the input system. It feels so intuitive! Even the delete button works as expected. And that's not at all easy to program, particularly because the cursor must behave differently when it's in the last column. Very, very good work! And thank you for another puzzle game on my daily schedule ;-)
Happy to hear you like it!
I was actually considering using a ROT-1 cipher instead, but I decided my reason for obfuscating the words was just to hide them so someone who browses the code doesn't see any words by mistake, *and* I wanted to make it easy to modify the words for anyone downloading the game. Maybe someone wants to make their own set of puzzles with a certain theme.
That explains it. From all entries to the competition, I think it is Wordguesr that suffers the most under the restriction of "no external files". Not only that you cannot use a word list (which then everyone could modify, say, to other languages), but also as a save-state, to save the last solved puzzle position, so next day one could easily continue. Right now, I always forget which words I already solved. :-D
Yes, saving would be nice.
I did add the printing the number of the last puzzle shown when you quit. Keep a postit note by your computer maybe :)
thats impressive
i like the fact that the words are not directly readable from the listing :)
Impressive, getting 111 puzzles in there!
