Hi,<br><br>We can have various hints in terms of pictures and text for words as pointed out Sabine. Managing different languages and scripts will be a challenging task but will be a beneficial feature of the game, I also feel we better go for it.<br>
<br>I am planning to apply for GSoC 2010 with my idea "Scramble". I would love to know if anyone from KDE's community would like to mentor me?<br><br>Waiting for a positive response.<br><br>-- <br>Thanks & Regards,<br>

How to you get to the letters? By taking words and extract the letters from there? So you know from the beginning what "at least" must be in there?<br>
<br>We (Vox Humanitatis) need mainly educational games for primary school age and this would be a nice one. What about giving hints in terms of pictures, in particular when kids are playing? <br>
<br>As for words: we already have plenty of wordlists with basic terminology for quite some languages. These could be used here. <br><br>If possible, please consider right to left languages, and different scripts like Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew etc.<br>
<br>As for the game itself: keep it as simple as possible for people to understand - this makes sure they will play.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Sabine</font><div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>Here, a 4X4 or 5X5 grid is given fully filled with random letters. The player is supposed to make as many possible words as he / she can in a given amount of time. Words can be formed if a letter of the word is connected to the previous letter. By connected letters I mean, 2 letters can either share a common edge (4 sides of a cell) or they can share a common point (4 corners of the cell).<br>
<br>For example in the following grid,<br>s t r a<br>i c p m<br>o r b e<br>e l p z<br><br>"scramble" is a word.<br>Hence, this game can be used for building vocabulary of people belonging to various age groups.<br>
<br>I would like to discuss about "Scramble" as a project and I would be happy to know any other suggestions in the game to make it more interesting.<br><font color="#888888">
