Vocab Extreme

Just Gumm, doin' the casual thing. This is what I started shortly after PyWeek, cuz I couldn't find my license key to unlock my favorite commercial word game.

So what da heck. I ain't buyin' the stupid thing twice. Here's my motivation to make it the way *I* want it.

I will probably get dinged on innovation. But that's okay! It will give those south African poisonous snake guys somethin' to compete against.

Oh and Warning - Warning - Warning - Bad Word Warning:

The word lists distributed with Vocab Extreme are from the Moby/Gutenberg collection. They contain words which may be considered inappropriate or objectionable by some.

First whack

I wasn't sure what my involvement in Pyggy would be. Our PyWeek team, Multiverse Factory, is interested. We just haven't mobilized yet. In the meantime I needed something to chew on while I tried to put a dent in my DVR backlog. This is it.

And I thought what the heck, why not Pyggy it as a solo entry.

I began the game logic from scratch a couple weeks ago, and day by day it is shaping into the casual jumbled word solving game I always wanted. It is currently playable. No race the clock mode, no pointless arbitrary score keeper, and no stupid license key to lose. Just pure mindless word solving fun. Er... if you can call word solving mindless.

Some days it's been an interesting challenge. Like: how can I possibly fit 400+ words in a tiny area and stay sexy. Move over, Megan Fox.

Here is the project site.

And here is the first whack.
