Dancer implementation of Boggle word game
Hello fellow Dancer devs! For anyone familiar with the word game Boggle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boggle&oldid=496588593), I have implemented a very basic version in Dancer, which can be found here: https://github.com/nmarley/BoggleGame-Dancer It uses the Dancer::Plugin::Ajax and jQuery for the word list. It isn't multiplayer (yet), and doesn't validate any words. Other TO-DOs include to add a timer, to add grid validation (see if the word actually exists in the grid), and to lookup which user-supplied words are actual words in the English language (or any other language — different language dictionaries could be another feature). Code is here (https://github.com/nmarley) feel free to fork it on github and comment/update. Regards, Nathan

That's really cool! Is there a version hosted online? Other TO-DOs include to add a timer, to add grid validation (see if the
word actually exists in the grid), and to lookup which user-supplied words are actual words in the English language (or any other language — different language dictionaries could be another feature).
I would set up a hackathon to work on it with other people. Code is here (https://github.com/nmarley) feel free to fork it on github
and comment/update.
Will definitely look into it! Thank you so much for sharing! :) S.
Hi, Oh I remember Boggle, I played it a lot when I was young :) Yeah I'd like to see an online version too :) On 5 July 2012 10:31, sawyer x <xsawyerx@gmail.com> wrote:
