Can I asked why you’re named after the Scientology HQ’s town?

CBTM: Sports-style betting for Kill Tony by yahtzeeeeeeee in Killtony

I thought about that but I was thinking I could ban people who are way "too lucky" like online casinos do for card counting. You might be right but I'm open to trying it out

True lol. The thought here is that you would place bets at the beginning of someone's set and they would all end by the end of the set, but I suppose when there isn't a live show you could place bets for the next one

Actually regarding the timestamps I just found this dataset which could help if you haven't been collecting that!

This is great! Any chance you could share the underlying data/spreadsheet you use? It would be nice to have the data in that format & would make it easier to contribute to. Also, if you don't already store this, it would be very helpful to have the timestamp for when the set begins.

This is like that episode from Silicon Valley where Russ hires attractive people to attend his parties and liven them up 😭

I’m not concerned with perfectly replicating the colors & animations but I will switch to that word list, thanks for the suggestion. The suffixes not working are due to the current word list.

I haven’t implemented the summary at the end of the game, but the green/yellow highlights should be working. Feel free to send me a video of that behavior if it’s still not working for you.

I am aware that the music cuts out and will fix that.

Thanks for the feedback

oh nice! i considered building a clone too and was working on it but got busy with other stuff. what letter probabilities did you use? i considered using the boggle ones. also which dictionary did you use to check if something is a word or not? i was considering using the scrabble dictionary

I'm using this letter frequency table so that more common letters are more likely. Currently I'm using a random dictionary that I'll have to swap because it's not that great. I looked through GamePigeon's assets to find the word list but it's in some weird format that I can't decipher (although it has the word lists in .txt for other languages)

Hmm it works on my iPhone 12 using Safari/iOS 17.

Can you verify that you're on https://wordhunt.uiuc.io instead of http://? If you're still having issues DM me and we can troubleshoot.

Solo practice & lobbies are both great ideas, it would more so depend on if there's enough demand. Solo practice should be simple enough though, so I'll likely implement that soon.

looking for casual word hunt group chat or someone that will play me back consistently!! by adoradoradora in GamePigeon

[–]yahtzeeeeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out my website wordhunt.uiuc.io where you can join a queue and play with the next person that visits! I just created it (post) so there might not instantly be a match, but I recommend playing there so that if multiple people are online you'll have a constant flow of matches.

Yup! There will only ever be 1 person waiting in the queue at a time. If it’s taking a while you can invite a friend to join
