Evolving Words by rjhunter 2012-08-29T14:42:00
BRAVO, rjhunter. At the outset I was like "oh, it's broken. How can I connect hail and worm?"..and a few minutes later, it was so gratifying to get it! It's very cool and it makes us use brain-muscles that we use rarely use. Great job.
I have a huge interest in developing new gameplay mechanics using words. For a different jam, I did a very similar game but instead of linking the words by spelling-similarity, I used an MIT-supplied concept net and linked them via concept/meaning. You can try it at argumentchampion.com if you want.
Congrats!
