Inspiration

Wanted a challenge as it's been years since I've worked on anything game-related. Given that I was working solo I wanted to try and come up with clever that I could do given my limited time and resources.

What it does

Word Rally is a turn-based pvp word guessing game! Players compete against one another to win "rallies" by guessing words. During each turn, players may also activate skills which will either have beneficial effects for the player or detrimental effects for the opponent. First to win 3 rallies wins the game.

How we built it

Built it using Go and Svelte.

Challenges we ran into

First time using Go and Svelte. Getting WebSocket to work in "production".

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learned Go and Svelte!

What we learned

Ditto. Also learned that AI tools like Amazon Q Developer and Cline are really helpful in speeding up development. Will be getting better at using these tools in the future.

What's next for Word Rally
