Wordrow is a reimplementation of the classic internet puzzle game Text Twist as a static webpage with a modern and sleek design.
The project consists of the following three folders:
-
dict A (modified) copy of dictionaries for certain languages. These are used with the program in game_gen to generate all of the games.
-
dict.cpp: A C++ application that generates the json file of all games efficiently with the Anatree data structure.
-
game The source files for the game logic run as a static React website in the browser.
These are precompiled into the final game served on the gh-pages branch.
