Na'vi Hangman Game

[Ikran Ahiyìk]

^{Again it's .exe ... Sorry for those who can't open it.}

So this time it's not Java, but written in Pascal.. it looks pretty old.
Firstly this is one of my school assignment, later I found that I've got enough knowledge to extend it into a more complete version, and I decided to make it to you.
This have taken me about 4 weeks, but there's still something missing.

Beta version 1.0
October 31, 2011

Game mode "Full Affix Game" to be released later.
Tests and comments on calculating formulas is needed.

FEATURES

• Versions in English and Na'vi
  You can play the game in English or Na'vi.
  It's somehow meaningless, but the imaginary situation is that
  it is presented to the Na'vi learned reading and let them to try some old technology.
  Exchange the language by entering a number in the very beginning.
  
  • Octal numbers in Na'vi version
    The transforming formula is built-in.
    All numbers will be in base 8 when you're playing the Na'vi version.
  [ Proofreading needed. Anyone helps? ]

• 6 game play modes
  There's not only one way of guessing nor one database.
  You can try words full of infixes, or get some hints in advance.
  There are totally six modes:
  
  • 9 Hinted-Letters Game - Automatically make guesses for 3 vowels and 6 letters by computer.
  • 16-Letter Game - Word does not contain any 3 vowels and 5 letters randomly chosen in advance.
  • 19-Letter Game - Word does not contain any 5 letters randomly chosen in advance.
  • Normal Game - Guess the words and fauna names with all possible letters.
  • Extended Game - Full vocabulary (inc. loan, prop.n., multi-word ph.) will be included.
  • Full Affix Game - Consider also prefixes, infixes and suffixes. The complete version.
  These will be further introduced later.

• Score and Hi-score table record
  Post your score get and compare with others!
  You can also save the results for self-competing, scores ranked.

• "Life"
  Complete a game not by successfully guess a word, but a series of word until the man "hanged to death".
  Life will be sightly increased and more significantly decreased each time you guess correctly or wrongly.
  This show how is your accuracy.
  [ Need tests for the life calculating formula. Too fast to die? Never die, for experts? ]

• A wider word base
  Space is provided for guessing in mode 5 and 6, that means some items to be guessed are phrases.
  Besides, loan words, numbers, flora, fauna and proper nouns will be included as guesses in harder mode.
  There are about 1,600 items for guessing. Not including variants made by affix drawing.

• Affixes included
  In the last mode, even word forms sref«iv»«ei»ey will be included.
  Thorough thinking is required, and it will be more challenging for those experts..

• Word meaning given
  After you complete the guess for a word, either successful or not, the meaning will be shown if you're playing English version.
  This is more helpful for players try to memorize words, do this with supporting meanings is always more effective.

Hint:
Since only 7-bit ASCII codes are used in pascal, no ä or ì. Replaced by ":" and "\".
Guess by Latin letters, i.e. in terms of p, t, k, x, n, g, NOT px, tx, kx, ng etc.

Disclaimer:
This is a game for entertaining only.
You are cleared in mind that using the words in conversations is more helpful on learning.
Do not treat this game as a complete learning material.





Sorry, I have no time to make a guide for the game play.
Please follow the instructions in the game.

Please adjust the window screen size to 80 x 25 characters for best view, in window "properties".

... and ... please post this page after you've played it.

this is very interesting. Do you still have the source code? or is that not allowed to be shared?

[Kamean]

Looks good.

Yes of course, I've just finished this yesterday updates are still going to be completed.
But I can't share all of them.. it involve what affixes I've given to which word, and the encryption of the score record..

Looks good.

Try it then

[Blue Elf]

Really interesting. The only pain is lack of ì and ä. I can't believe, that in Pascal is impossible to use characters with Ascii code > 0x7F. What version you are using?
Anyway, quite amusing game

[Ikran Ahiyìk]

Just a free one. Dev-Pascal







Setting up the system for infixes is a pain.. now.

[Tsmuktengan]

This seems pretty interesting. Too bad I can't run in under Linux, I'll try to run this as soon as I can boot a Windows any time soon. But keep it up!

I have plans of compiling this on Linux. Is it cool if I do that and then release it on this thread?

EDIT: copying that PDF into a .p file and fixing the formatting will take forever. I'd rather just compile the .p file Is there any way I could do that?

[Ikran Ahiyìk]

Yes it is cool

Do you mean this?
