Wordpress was a game created for a Computer Networking course in my third year. It recieved a mark of 97% and I received a mark of 77% for the entire course.

The specification was to create a game where you and another person would go head to head in a battle of language. A random letter would be given to player 1 and they would have to type in a word that started with that letter. Player 2 would then have to enter a word starting with the last letter of the word player 1 gave. The game should also have a scoring system, and this was to take into account length of word for the + scoring, and wrong words for the -ve scoring.

This seemed fairly lax for a game, as there is much more to a real game than these basic specifications, thus I added a few features that would make the game alot better.

  • 5 second responce timeout.
  • Multiple games per server, with a general chat room and a chat room for specific games.
  • Multiple players per game, specified by the player acting as the host.
  • Bright graphics and a GUI Interface.
  • System to check input words against an online dictionary.
  • Allow the host to control how many rounds in the game, and the maximum number of users per game.
