Quackey 0.4 (Default branch) |
|
|
Quackey is a somewhat simplified but mostly
feature-complete version of the Perquackey anagram
word-building game. It runs in an xterm, Gnome terminal, or on the console. The entire game is contained in an 11kb
Bash shell script, and a big chunk of that is
instruction text and comments. It was written
as a "proof-of-concept," but the game is quite
playable (and fun) even in its preliminary release form. It
requires the author's "yawl" word list package or
a similar word list installed in /usr/share/dict. Playing Quackey is good practice for Scrabble and similar anagramming games.

Changes:
This release adds a script that lets a "bot" play a round of Quackey. This is useful for having the computer replay a round that you have just played, and for generating length-sorted word lists. It is not necessarily intended for cheating at Scrabble.
