Inspiration
I really like the Word Hunt game and other word games in general though i keep losing at that game against my friends. So I had the thought to create a game engine to help me win.
What it does
It takes in the Word Hunt board and then solves it and displays the solved board in a way that humans can easily understand and copy down.
How I built it
I built it through Python using Flask along with HTML, CSS, and Javascript
Challenges I ran into
The Flask Framework refused to work for a good 6 hours which caused me to go behind schedule for a bit
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The game engine runs in around one second even though it has to compute many many different numbers
What we learned
I learned how to build websites with Flask as well as how to create more efficient code using Python
What's next for Game Pidgeon Word Game Solver
I will try to make it faster at computing and add a timed version that shows the next word after a given time interval so you don't have to keep clicking the button
