HTML\/Javascript Song Lyric Lines Game Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

The easiest English games to design are those that involve discrete words, because then dictionaries and thesauruses can be used. Learning English (for students whose first language is not English (ESL)) is obviously more useful when the student can piece together sentences, and then go on to form stories, or as for today’s tutorial, the story of a song, from those sentence meanings … or at least give it a go … so, here, with today’s tutorial, we piece together some song lyric snippets from sentences or phrases (broken into three) where we’ve called on some website song lyric favourites at this link<\/a> and link<\/a> … thanks. Today’s game asks you to fill in the song lyric’s missing start, middle, or end parts, in order to complete those song lyric snippets (correctly, hopefully?! … but not always easy), and we’ll call the game “The Song Lyric Lines DotDotDot Game”<\/i> (too snappy for you?!) … and you score points for each correct song lyric snippet you form (we may not have thought of all song lyric snippets you may construct, and if this happens avail yourself of the Complaints Department<\/a>). It uses English song lyrics, and we invite you to play with another player, and add your own, maybe while they aren’t looking?! (Hint: Try the middle Dot).<\/p>\n

A couple of today’s data source inspiration are from this link<\/a> and this link<\/a> … so, again, thanks a lot.<\/p>\n

This game<\/a> uses HTML and Javascript programming languages.<\/p>\n

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

Anyway, see how you go with this ESL song lyrics game that makes use of a (HTML canvas element) chalkboard!<\/p>\n

Here is a link to some downloadable HTML (with Javascript) programming code you could rename to songlyriclines_chalkboard.html<\/a><\/p>\n
