Word wars
What is this game?
This is a small game that originated from an example program to test glyph rendering and audio subsystem of my refactored game engine.
I have always wanted to do something like https://zty.pe/ which I have used to work a bit on my typing accuracy, years ago. This web game served as the main inspiration for the game mechanics of my own implementation.
For visuals I limited myself to only use text (ASCII and few special characters), due to the focus on glyph rendering and the artistic advantages of working in a limited space.
The game is a simple endless-typing-speed-accuracy-arcade-shooter in soul space.
It is possible to “mod” the game by passing a plain-text file with custom words as a commandline argument to the program. Each line in the file should contain one phrase (spaces are allowed, so it is possible to load “multi-word-enemies”).
