Hi Nicol, To solve Thomas's problem with the concept you could have the answers in multiple choice so in answer to the definition,
A toiletry designed to beautify the body
you could list cosmetology cosmetics. cortices chromatics.

It should be pretty easy to create in any language or toolkit, and yes can be done quite easily in BGT. My only concern with this type of game is synonymous words that have the same meaning or definition. There are a number of words in the English language that mean the same thing and could become confusing in this sort of game. For example, elevation and altitude are synonymous. The question would have to be worded very careful in order to allow the player to know which word the game was looking for. A generic definition such as “above sea level” wouldn't be enough to know which word was expected in this case. Cheers! On 12/22/12, Nicol <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi list I've been thinking about an idea for a new word game. The game gives you a definition and you must type the word for which the definition is. To give an example: The game gives the following definition: A toiletry designed to beautify the body The correct word is cosmetics. Another example: The game gives the following definition: Elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface The correct word is altitude. Another example: The game gives this definition: Difficult to accomplish; demanding considerable mental effort and skill The correct word for this definition is arduous. The game gives you a list of difficulty levels to choose from. On easy you can guess about 5 times the word for which the definition is but on hard difficulty you only get one guess. ON easy difficulty the game gives you definitions for very familiar words, but on hard difficulty the game gives you definitions for less familiar words. What do you all think about this idea? Is it possible to develop such a game with bgt? --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
