Work on one of my pet projects is nearing a close. Well the brains done so it's mostly tarting it up. I've made it to please myself because I like this sort of game.
As you'll guess from the screenshot it's a word game. And yes these sorts of games are ten a penny but I've been trying for something a little different with this one.
Rather than a predefined set of levels and challenges hard coded into the game. I've created a system which generates it's own puzzles.
So instead of getting the game, completing the levels and then having to fork out to buy more levels, you get a game that can create tens of millions of unique levels without ever having to buy more.
Not only that, when the system creates a level, it doesn't limit the words you are looking for to a predefined set. Instead you are given the amount of words, how many letters each one is and the only limit is the English language. As long as you enter a word that fits one of the spaces and is an actual word you are good to go.
The time limits allocated for each level are also dynamically created by the system based on the amount of words, how many letters and a few other bits and bobs, so as to provide a realistic and varied challenge.
So, to the point of this, yeah there is one.
Before I finish up the coding, I wondered if anyone would be interested in having a mini-game for the Apple Watch added. Assuming anyone is interested in the actual game itself that is.
I've a couple of ideas for what could be done as a simple, quick game suited to the small screen of the watch.
So as usual, comments suggestions and general abuse are always welcome
*Edit*
I forgot to say, this will be a free game released under the buy me a coffee system. If you like it, then you can hit the buy button in the app and support a starving programmer
