Give it a try at gridog.com. Since we are good friends, I’ll give you a defold forum head start: today’s word second letter is “C”
One thing I would like to see is an indicator when mouse hovering a letter box. Perhaps a nice sound, different from the click sound, along with some kind visual indicator.
After todays word I had to google it do see its definition, would be cool to see the definition at the result view.
I noticed that too. But I don’t have much experience with the behind the scenes of fonts, so I somehow imagined that would be very hard to fix. Glad to see that’s not necessarily true. Thanks a lot for the link, I’ll give it a try.
About the wordlist: it’s stored on the client side (inside the app). It’s basically a list of aprox. 600 not too obscure words. That means that if no new words are added, after 2 years they will repeat. But I doubt someone will remember the words from 2 years ago so that shouldn’t be a problem.
About the clipboard: it does use an extension and had to add a bit of code to have it work in the browser. But I don’t remember the name and I don’t have my laptop with me. Will check it tomorrow and come back to you.
Yes, used Britzl’s extension. To make it work in the browsers too, add in the touch event’s callback:
-- native app clipboard copy is handled by the clipboard library
if (clipboard ~= nil) then
clipboard.copy(share_message(self))
else
-- html5 clipboard copy is handled by the "polyfill"
defos.on_interaction(function()
copy_text(self)
end)
end
where copy_text is a local function:
-- this function is used to copy a given text to the clipboard, on browser builds
local function copy_text(self)
-- check if the current browser supports the clipboard API
local result = html5.run("navigator.clipboard")
if result == "[object Clipboard]" then
-- executes the supplied string as JavaScript inside the browser.
html5.run("clipboard_copy('" .. share_message(self) .. "')")
else
print("Can't access clipboard")
end
end
Now, the last step is to provide the clipboard_copy function. Add it to the page’s head tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
async function clipboard_copy(thing_to_copy) {
const result = await navigator.clipboard.writeText(thing_to_copy);
}
</script>
Nice, but I was clueless as to what I was trying to do. I now see I’m trying to guess the correct letter in each column to spell a word using only one letter from each column.
