Wordplay
Wordplay is a simple word game with relatively simple rules. You start with a three-letter word and from that, you can make one modification to the word. The permitted modifications are as follows:
- Add any number of letters to the start of the word
- Add any number of letter to the end of the word
- Remove any number of letters from the start of the word (result must be >=3 letters)
- Remove any number of letters from the end of the word (result must be >=3 letters)
- Change any one letter in the word
You can type "i pass" to pass (in a multiplayer game) or "i give up" or "i forfeit" to give up.
The game is written in Python, so if you have Linux, Python 2.4 or greater will work (earlier versions will probably work fine too). If you have Windows, you'll need to download Python.
The command line parameters are as follows: wordplay.py num_players num_passes
