New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: I created a Scrabble-like word game with simple rules and fun combos
Show HN: I created a Scrabble-like word game with simple rules and fun combos
2 by sonOfHades | 0 comments on Hacker News.
When I was in school, my teacher used to play this game to our class. You add one letter turnwise and try to make a word. Later, I tried searching for this game but didn't find the exact match anywhere. The closest was Scrabble, but it was too complicated. So, I decided to build my own. I did make some modifications to make the game more challenging and fun. Back then, we would start with a blank board and also score 2 letter words. Here, the game gets prefilled with random letters so the game becomes more different each time. No scoring for two letter words. The best thing that I added was the combos. If your letter makes 2 or more words, you will get a multiplier for each subsequent word, so the challenge becomes finding a way to score more combos. Initially, I wanted to assign values to each letter like Scrabble, but after running multiple AI-to-AI experiments, I concluded that having flat values per letter increases variances in the game and also reduces the first turn advantage to 0. I still added the weighted game mode if you would like to give that a try as well. And I also added daily puzzles where you get 5 boards, and you need to find the best spot and best letter that scores the most. You can share the Wordle-like result to your friends. You can also play directly on the web at https://ift.tt/oYMRHZ0 or free download in the App Store at https://ift.tt/yQ2oNrU

What happened to search? To be fair, Google failed to actually achieve the goal of world's best, but...to have dropped the ball so badly after AI. Who's got real news in the zoo?

I constantly hear developers around me talk about how AI has completely changed their life and how they don't even program anymore, they just prompt. But any time I've used it, the output has always been off. And when the output is off I have to go and read through everything, learn how it works and fix it, which at that point I might as well write it myself. I just don't understand what other people are seeing, I've mainly used Claude and ChatGPT, I got a free trial for premium but it's just underwhelming, their only use so far for me has been as a search engine, but they're a search engine that's wrong 20% of the time so even that use is questionable.
