This repository contains an interactive implementation of the classic Ghost Word Game using R. The game is designed for two players who take turns adding letters to form a word. The goal is to avoid completing a valid word with more than 3 letters, or creating a fragment that cannot possibly form a word.
This problem is taken from the course offered in MIT - Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in MIT OCW. (The terms of use are in http: // ocw. mit. edu/ terms ).
- Interactive gameplay: Two players take turns inputting a single alphabet.
- Input validation: Ensures each input is a valid single alphabetic character.
- Dynamic word fragment: Displays and updates the current word fragment after each turn.
- Winning and losing conditions: The game ends when a valid word is formed (longer than 3 characters), or if no valid word can be formed from the current fragment.
- Scrabble dictionary: Uses a preloaded word list from the Scrabble dictionary to validate the word fragments.
- Player 1 inputs a letter.
- Player 2 adds another letter, forming a word fragment.
- The game continues until one player forms a complete word or creates a fragment that can't form a valid word.
To run the game, simply clone the repository and execute the ghost() function in R.
