word-chain-game

i get bored easily. sometimes, i want to play a very simple word game

here's that game!

word-chain-game is an incredibly basic python, where you simply type in words to create a chain (or a snake)
it didn't take too long to make this game, which is why it's completely free to download. you're welcome.

don't expect too much from this game, and expect a whole bunch of bugs.

so, how do you play?

1. type in your language
   currently, this game supports:
   1. English (including US english, UK english, AUstralian english, INdian english etc.)
   2. French
   3. Japanese (i recommend you only type in kana, though)
   4. Hindi
   5. Korean
   6. Russian
   7. Thai
   8. German
   9. Portuguese
      now, just because this game supports these languages, doesn't mean the whole game is in that language. currently, the only language displayed is English
2. enter your starting word
   1. this word does not contribute to your score, it just decides what letter your next word starts with
3. enter a new word
   1. this word MUST START with the SAME LETTER that your PREVIOUS word ENDED with. so, if you typed CAT before, you could type TOUR next, but not CAR
   2. every 5 words, the minimum length of a word goes up by 1. the minimum length starts at 0.
4. repeat step 3 until
   1. you misspell a word
   2. you typed the same word twice.
   3. you word is shorter than the minimum length
   4. you took longer than 10 seconds to type a word

also, there's a points system!

every time you type a word, you get one point. you also get bonus points depending on

1. word length
2. word infrequency
3. time took to answer
4. time streak (aka, if you keep hitting condition three, you'd get a time streak bonus)

there's even a high score system! please note that it's local-based aka it's not saved online. if you want to see the scores saved on your machine, scroll down to debug mode. if you want, comment your high score.

the number in this box is my highscore (in EN)

(en) me: 183

DEBUG MODE:

while typing your starting word, you can change some settings in DEBUGMODE. just type "DEBUGMODE" as your first word.

the commands are

• CLEARSCORES
• SEESCOERS

both self-explanatory.

have fun. this text is also in the zip file, by the way.
