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.
-
dict.cpp: C++ applications to process and generate the dict/ folder. In particular, this generates the json files used by the game/ efficiently via the Anatree data structure.
-
game The game itself. This is implemented as a static React application.
These are precompiled into the final game which is served on the gh-pages branch.
