the big issue is that the game does not always detect when i have entered the correct guess.
most glaringly, i have to spell it with exactly the right uppercase and lowercase letters. this can be easily fixed by spelling all correct guesses in all‑lowercase and using the String function
to_lower()to convert my entered guess into all‑lowercase before checking it.combined with the game knowing too few words, like detecting the “█████████████████████” as a “███████” but not as a “█████████████████████”, this makes the game too broken and frustrating
Yeah, the guessing logic could be improved a bit. I thought about implementing some "You are close" messages, or ignoring some spelling errors. Or a contains check instead of string equal, but that had other issues and edge cases.
Lower and upper case does not impact the comparison, at least I thought I implemented it that way. Maybe it still has a bug somewhere.
It's simply a list of ~10 possible guesses per object.
In general, a more generic or simpler answer is easier and also accepted. E.g. type of object without brand name.
Would it be possible for you to remove the explicit references to the solution from your comment? That would prevent other players spoiling themselves.
Dio porco
Super fun and original idea! I especially liked that once you guessed the object you still had to "prove" you understood and actually navigate around.
Love the concept!
This is a cool concept! Can be used in a 3D or VR game as well. But the 2D perspective is more challenging!
Really liked this concept! Had a lot of fun and it was chill.

Couldn’t get passed the menu.
Are you playing in the browser? If yes, which?
Is the "?" button not clickable? It should close the menu
