Wordiff is an original game in which contestants take turns spelling new dictionary words of three or more characters that only differ from
|
|
the last by a change in one letter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The change can be either:
|
|
# a deletion of one letter;
|
|
# addition of one letter;
|
|
# or change in one letter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
* All words must be in the dictionary.
|
|
* No word in a game can be repeated.
|
|
* The first word must be three or four letters long.
|
|
|
|
|
|
;Task:
|
|
Create a program to aid in the playing of the game by:
|
|
* Asking for contestants names.
|
|
* Choosing an initial random three or four letter word from the dictionary.
|
|
* Asking each contestant in their turn for a wordiff word.
|
|
* Checking the wordiff word is:
|
|
:* in the dictionary,
|
|
:* not a repetition of past words,
|
|
:* and differs from the last appropriately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
;Optional stretch goals:
|
|
* Add timing.
|
|
* Allow players to set a maximum playing time for the game.
|
|
* An internal timer accumulates how long each user takes to respond in their turns.
|
|
* Play is halted if the maximum playing time is exceeded on a players input.
|
|
:* That last player must have entered a wordiff or loses.
|
|
:* If the game is timed-out, the loser is the person who took the longest `average` time to answer in their rounds.
