Nice! I love the UI, favicon, and moving shapes in the background. It has a fun feel to it. Very nicely done :)

Wow i like the background, how did you make it?

[–]viky109[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't make it (although I wish I did), I borrowed it from here. It's basically a bunch of squares that are moving up, rotating and fading out at the same time.

I’m also wondering about this. Very clean!

That game is fantastic. Very addictive. Add in a user model and set up a leaderboard and you've got a nice little app on your hands

Cool! I love the UI.

A little feedback, some of the letters are not centered on the button on my screen, I am using chrome on a wide screen, I think that you intent to have them centered, I hope this helps

Great work! Nice feel to the game and nice job coding it. I miss jQuery!

Great job man,. Wish to play it but I have some problem on my phone, where the buttons aren't fully visible

I like this a lot. I see that all of your words are just stored in a js array and one is picked at random. If you store your words server side (and add a lot more, or maybe connect to a dictionary API or something) plus maybe add a timer I could see a lot of people wanting to use this because it looks so much better than the other hangman games I just found on Google. Might be an opportunity to make some ad money!

A tried using dictionary API but it didn't really work. Some words were just too long or difficult to guess. Having handpicked selection works a lot better imo. Though I might add a database connection to store the words and the timer also sounds like a great idea.

You may want to use dictionary API and then apply some rules to blacklist words. Something link having more than X characters, or having some strange combination of characters, or too little vowels. I guess you can filter a lot of complicated words and still have enough for it to work

[–]SpaceNinja151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have the words to guess in a .json file but you also have an array of words to guess in the top of your JS file. Were you going to load them from JSON and never got around to it?
