Who Said It?

A quick game I threw together to entertain some friends. It presents quotes from a shared WhatsApp group and challenges players to remember/guess who originally said them.

Our private instance is not available, but you can take a copy of this project and adapt it for your own use by following the instructions below.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Create a data.json file in its directory with the format described below.
3. Host the directory on a webserver and visit index.html.

data.json format

The JSON data file is an array of objects. Each object must include a "date" (any format; used for display only), "speaker" (the person who said the quote), and "message" (either a string or an array of strings). It may also include an "alwaysInclude", an array of names of strings of other speakers who will always appear in the list of possible guesses. E.g.:

[
	{
		"date": "01/02/2003",
		"speaker": "Alice",
		"message": [ "Hi, I'm Alice!", "I wrote two messages." ],
	},
	{
		"date": "02/03/2004",
		"speaker": "Bob",
		"message": "You might think this message was written by Alice. But was it?",
		"alwaysInclude": [ "Alice" ]
	},
	{
		"date": "03/04/2005",
		"speaker": "Chris",
		"message": "This is very quotable."
	},
	{
		"date": "04/05/2006",
		"speaker": "Chris",
		"message": "This is also very quotable."
	},
	{
		"date": "05/06/2007",
		"speaker": "Debbie",
		"message": [ "Hey, I made a game! Come to this URL and see if you can remember who-said-what:", "https://example.com/" ]
	}
