How Can I Make A Word In A Row Of Actors

theGhost

Hi everyone!
I am trying to make a word game and I want to make some rule that can make sure there is a word in a row. So let's say that the row has 6 letters, how do I make sure that the game mixes up at least 1 word in those letters. Do you guys know what I mean? I downloaded the word checker from gshelper.com so I have that already. Thanks in advanced!

hmm yea thats a good question. it seems like perhaps what you could do is have a table of words and the number correspondence.. like cat = 3, 1, 20

each row of 6 letters would be merged (I seem to recall seeing a tutorial that showed how values could be brought together) and compared.. if they match, then shuffle one or more letters..

However I've never done a word game personally and not the best person on the subject. I'm sure you'll get some others to weigh in on this subject. There are some great word games folks have made with gamesalad.

Good luck!

I would not recommend trying to come up with an algorithm for that process. Instead, create a table that contains all of the rows in a pre-determined arrangement and then show the rows/letters as needed.
