A screenshot of the game and its settings
Inspiration
Memorizing vocabulary while learning a foreign language can be tedious. Tetris is a simple popular game that everyone can play. How about a Tretris-like game where the blocks are words in one of two languages?
What it does
Two in different language blocks only annihilate only when they mean the same thing. Using the built-in LLM we can obtain lists of words in nearly any two languages on nearly any subject. The game can start with matching words appearing after each other and as the player levels up it can get faster and more mixed up.
How we built it
I built it by vibe coding with Gemini 2.5 Pro. Here is a post with the details
Challenges we ran into
Gemini kept using the older version of the API and wouldn't read the docs. I had to copy and paste the docs into the chat.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
How easy it was. I'm confident a middle or high school student could create an app like this.
What we learned
How easy it is to make a nearly 900-line program that uses various APIs.
What's next for WordFall
Perhaps it needs a Settings button for the user to customize the number of words, the speed, etc.
