Color Block Match Game

[xoxofvxoxo]

I'd like to make a color block game for the game galleries example. This color block game's objective would be the user gets 5-10 different colors with 15-25 in total of squares of said colors(users can select if they want difficult, medium, or easy mode) and are tasked with matching each color with its color group.

Sounds good, @xoxofvxoxo, I've assigned you. How are you feeling about your Wordplay programming skills? Do you need some pointers on how to implement this?

Thank you and Yes, some pointers would be very helpful, but I'm feeling pretty good about wordplay programming!

I don't quite understand the mechanics of the game you're proposing, but it sounds like it involves picking some colored squares on a grid based on a prompt? If that's what you're talking about, you'd want something similar to how the WhatWord.wp game is built:

• Some kind of data structure that stores the current game state (the generated colors for the grid, the history of selections)
• Use the Choice stream, and when it changes, create a new game state based on the choice. The choice stream requires phrases to have a unique name that you could use to determine what its color is.
• Translating the game state into a stage of groups and phrases to show the layout you want
• A Phrase can have a background, which you could use to make colored squares. You'd need to give it some text to make it square shaped, but the color of the text could be the same as the background.

As you build it, think about what you could do to describe colors, so the game is playable by screen reader users who can't see color.

@xoxofvxoxo Will you still be working on this issue?
