Inspiration
A game based on the popular Japanese word game, しりとり (shiritori).
What it does
Word Chain is a game about chaining words together. You are given a random topic. Your goal is to type words related to that topic. However, the one catch is that words must be chained together. This means the first letter of the new word must be the same as the last letter of the preceding word.
For example, within the topic: countries, if you input "Brazil" as the first word, the succeeding word must start with an 'l'.
How we built it
We implemented this project in base javascript, using HTML & CSS for the front end.
Challenges we ran into
There were a lot of issues when it came to filing linking, and it was difficult making a custom data structure for data retrieval.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created our own custom data structure that allowed us to obtain and store information efficiently.
What we learned
We learned how to design a video game and balance it, as well as how to make the most out of base HTML/CSS & base JS.
What's next for Word Chain
Possibly more updates in the future, as well as more easter eggs!
