In WordUp your aim is to grow a word more than the computer can. The computer places a letter. Then it's your turn. If the computer can't continue the word on its turn, you win and get a point for every letter placed. If you choose a letter that creates a word not in the ENABLE word list, you lose and start again with zero points. That's it.
I've rated the game as mature audiences because the word list contains offensive words and could be chosen by the player or the computer. Future versions might well change this.
The game prototype for the Mac uses:
- C++ code, the game written from scratch starting for Ludlum Dare (growing theme) solo in under 48 hours
- The ENABLE word list
- The Cinder Library
- The Apple San Francisco system font
- Tile graphics created in Acorn
- Sound effects created in BFXR
I plan to continue developing this prototype into a full game.
