Ahorcabol v1.0.0
Ahorcabol v1.0.0 ⚽
The original version of Ahorcabol, preserved here before the v1.5 redesign.
Ahorcabol started as a lightweight football-themed hangman game for the browser: guess club names, try not to run out of lives, and discover that apparently football needed another way to disappoint you.
What was in v1.0
- Club names from Argentina, Spain, England, Germany, France, Portugal and Brazil
- Six lives per match
- Score and streak tracking with
localStorage - Physical keyboard and on-screen keyboard with Ñ
- Accent-insensitive guesses while preserving the original club name on screen
- Hints at the modest price of one life
- Give up option, for tactical reasons obviously
- Animated goal, ball, posts, net and confetti
- Lightweight sound effects with WebAudio
- Optional Spanish voice feedback with SpeechSynthesis
- Country filtering
- Built-in fallback team list
- Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript
- No framework, no dependencies, no build process
Scoring
- Correct letter: +100 per occurrence
- Win: +500 + 50 × remaining lives
- Hint: −1 life
- Giving up resets the streak
The original philosophy
Open index.html and play.
That was basically the deployment strategy.
If the browser refuses to load teamlist.json from a local file, the built-in fallback list keeps the game alive anyway.
Historical note
This release points to the original Ahorcabol codebase before the v1.5 visual redesign, multilingual interface and branding overhaul.
It is preserved because deleting your old work once you make something prettier is a suspiciously efficient way of rewriting history.
For the current version, see the latest Ahorcabol release.
