This side project uses the SFML library to create a visually appealing Scrabble game. The gameboard image is a direct scan of an authentic American scrabble board; however, all other images are custom made using Adobe Illustrator.
Currently, this project is unfinished. I am slowly working both the backend and frontend. The draggable tiles are responsive and satisfying to control. In addition, I have created and tested a trie like data structure for implementing an AI that was inspired by this article.
I will be updating this project when I have a change.
- Button object that has a clicked sprite and unclicked sprite that functions like a normal button (since the SFML library does not provide such a feature).
- Implement verification system and method after placing a word on the board.
- Create system for keeping track of the remaining tiles and randomly chosing and placing the proper amount of tiles into the rack.
- Update backend handling of tiles that have been placed and verified on previous turns.
- Create gameloop.
- Implement AI system for determining all possible moves and create system for documentic heuristics in order to improve speed and intelligence.
This project is compeltely for fun. Here is a gif showcasing the current GUI functionality:
