Wordzel 1.1 - Family Game Server

Choose a tag to compare

@TonyStone31 TonyStone31 released this 19 Oct 22:16

The game grew a family game server: the same single executable can now serve a web version of Wordzel to every phone, tablet and computer in the house, with a shared family passphrase, name + PIN players, and a daily / monthly leaderboard that counts every finished game on desktop and web alike. See the README's Network Play section for the three-step setup.

Scoring rewards showing up: a win is worth word length x (guesses remaining + 1), a loss is worth 1, and totals are plain sums - so eight wins out of fifteen games beats one lucky first try.

Also in this release: startup no longer waits on virus scanners (sounds unpack after the window is up), the answer-peek and developer panel are locked behind a 30-second arming switch, and the server reports port conflicts instead of pretending all is well.

  • Linux (x86_64, gtk3): untar and run ./wordzel
  • Windows (64-bit): unzip and run wordzel.exe
