PHP\/Javascript Decoding Scrambled Words Game Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you like word games? Today’s game takes four randomly generated words, encodes them, and asks you to decode them … the words have 4 to 9 characters in them … mind you, out of them, you’d have<\/a> \u5947\u602a\u7684\u5b57\u7b26 or \u5909\u306a\u6587\u5b57 or \u0432\u0435\u0441\u0435\u043b\u044b\u0435 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0441\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0436\u0438 or \uc774\uc0c1\ud55c \ubb38\uc790 or \u0645\u0636\u062d\u06a9\u06c1 \u062e\u06cc\u0632 \u062d\u0631\u0648\u0641 or \u5947\u602a\u7684\u5b57\u7b26 or \u0905\u091c\u0940\u092c \u0905\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930 or \u10e1\u10d0\u10e1\u10d0\u10ea\u10d8\u10da\u10dd \u10d2\u10db\u10d8\u10e0\u10d4\u10d1\u10d8 or \u178f\u17bd\u17a2\u1780\u17d2\u179f\u179a\u178a\u17c2\u179b\u1782\u17bd\u179a\u17b1\u17d2\u1799\u17a2\u179f\u17cb\u179f\u17c6\u178e\u17be\u1785 or \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd or \u0e15\u0e31\u0e27\u0e15\u0e25\u0e01 or \u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0631\u0641 \u0645\u0636\u062d\u0643 or \u05de\u05d0\u05b8\u05d3\u05e0\u05e2 \u05d0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea or \u0ab0\u0aae\u0ac2\u0a9c\u0ac0 \u0a85\u0a95\u0acd\u0ab7\u0ab0\u0acb or \u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03af\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u03ae\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2 or \u0ca4\u0cae\u0cbe\u0cb7\u0cc6\u0caf \u0caa\u0cbe\u0ca4\u0ccd\u0cb0\u0c97\u0cb3\u0cc1 or \u09ae\u099c\u09be\u09b0 \u0985\u0995\u09cd\u09b7\u09b0 or \u0ea5\u0eb1\u0e81\u0eaa\u0eb0\u0e99\u0eb0 funny or \u0432\u044f\u0441\u0451\u043b\u044b\u044f \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0441\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0436\u044b or \u0c39\u0c3e\u0c38\u0c4d\u0c2f \u0c05\u0c15\u0c4d\u0c37\u0c30\u0c3e\u0c32\u0c41 … we’re going to call the game “Decoding Scrambled Words”<\/i> … and you score a point for each unscrambled set of words. It uses English words, based on the dictionary arrangements at its (web) server. Maybe it would be a good game to learn English vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Programmers often use Linux dictionary files<\/a> as a means to get a word list, and that list could be in any language, and for ours it is English, so to make it for another language, change the code inside the four file_get_contents() calls in decodewords.php<\/a><\/p>\n

This game<\/a> has two parts to it for PHP and Javascript to respectively get a word to use and arrange the user interaction.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you can figure the rules when you click the picture above for a live run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you to The Free Dictionary<\/a> for its great online presence as a dictionary resource, for the functionality to optionally explain a word’s dictionary meaning. The image map “click parts of the picture” vocabulary ESL tutorials<\/a> at this blog use the same resource to explain dictionary information about clicked on “things”.<\/p>\n

Anyway, see how you go with this game of interest and history!<\/p>\n

Anyway, see how you go with this game of logic and tactics!<\/p>\n

Maybe a view of this<\/a> could inspire you?!<\/p>\n

Here is a link to some downloadable PHP (with Javascript) programming code you could rename to decodewords.php<\/a><\/p>\n

If this was interesting you may be interested in this<\/a> too.<\/p>\n
