This was a pair programming project conducted as a homework assignment during Bloomsburg University's 'Organization of Programming Languages' course. I am one of two authors. The course was instructed by Dr. William Calhoun.
Word-Warp is a game where you descramble the letters.
The difference between word-warp.lisp and word-warp-symbols.lisp is,
- The former uses strings
- The latter uses symbols
The implication of these differences, is that:
- Strings have separate case, and separate methods to compare them as desired.
- Common Lisp symbols are capitalized by the interpreter (by default.)
A Docker image is available, the game will start using four letters...
docker run --rm -it ultasun/word-warp
...the game is very difficult with four letters, due to the 100,000 word dictionary installed. The user would be mad to try any higher number...
Clone the repository, adjust the last line of word-warp-symbols.lisp, the function call to START-ME, line 266. Beware, playing with more than four letters, with the 100,000 word dictionary, takes a long time to win.
clisp word-warp-symbols.lisp
The game should work with GNU Clisp or Armed Bear Common Lisp.

This was the first major Common Lisp program written by either author.
