Inspiration

Inspiration from Word Bomb and Scrabble.

What it does

The order of each player's turn is randomized.
A player's turn begins by pressing the spacebar, generating either two or three random characters and starting the clock, which will get faster after every round.
The player will then journey into their minds to bring forth a word containing the two or three characters exactly as they appear in front of them to purify the corrupted characters (Ex. for generated characters "ch," words that satisfy include "CHameleon," "WatCH," or "PatCHes").
A valid word will give the player points and remove it from the available word collection. The game will then loop and create a new sequence of characters for each turn.
First player to x points clears the forest of spore clouds and wins the game. Scoring: Every letter in the word, including those that show up more than once and the generated ones, give points. Standard Scrabble-style letter scoring system: Every a, e, i, o, u, l, n, s, t, and r are worth 1 point Every d and g are worth 2 points Every b, c, m, and p are worth 3 points Every f, h, v, w, and y are worth 4 points Every k is worth 5 points Every j and x are worth 8 points Every q and z are worth 10 points No word results in 0 points

How we built it

We built it using java and used a pre generated word list.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out GitHub and the issues we ran into throughout the development process, lack of knowledge and experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we got to gain experience and produce a functional, though not fully complete, project as a team.

What we learned

We learned how to utilize AI and its role in programming, new skills in java and programing in general, learned about and how to use resources that will be useful for us in future projects and careers, and gained valuable information, perspectives, and advice from staff, mentors, and other hackers.
