Thank you for organizing it! :)

I think there's something wrong with the compatibility mode, it should work better not worse. xD But yeah, it has issues when you try to delete something. I wrote this version at first because I thought it would fix another issue, but I was wrong.

This one uses Cls and Locate 1,1 instead of Shell "cls", which I think it might be the problem.

Oh, that's weird. And you can't scroll down? I tested it too at 1360 x 768 and while it's not ideal, it works.

Thanks! :)

The words are chosen randomly from a dictionary. I have noticed that there are times you get five extremely easy words in a row, and then suddenly there's one I've never seen in my whole life. I'll take that into account.

ASCII art was made drawing it first in Aseprite and then converting it with this website.

Are you having issues deleting characters? Does it happen all the time or only sometimes?

Thank you! :)

Oh, I didn't have this issue during my tests. Do the words appear too small? What's your screen resolution so I could try to investigate it?

The antonym dictionary is this one from Kaggle.

I'm not really sure, but I think it might be an issue with my C library. I could be "letting" some corrupt characters into the standard output stream and they somehow end up in the game. Does this still happen with the latest update? Otherwise I will keep investigating it but I won't be able to test it until around April 15th (on the system where the issue happens). Sorry about that. :(

Is your operating system Windows 11? I ran into this issue in one of my tests on W11 (but it worked fine on another PC with the same OS). I've uploaded what I hope it is a fix, otherwise I'll keep looking into it.

It should look something like this:

[1] HOW TO PLAY

[2] PLAY

[3] SHOW SCORE AND STREAK

[4] EXIT

So write 2 to start the game.
