HexBog ====== HexBog is a word game. How To Play ----------- Open index.html file in your browser. See "Installing" section below for creating this file. Click a series of contiguous letter tiles that form a word. Click the last letter in your word again and it will disappear, giving you points. To save, copy down the URL, or make a bookmark. (The web address is automatically updated to contain the game state each time you make a word.) Installing ---------- You'll need a few things to build HexBog: + A copy of jquery + The coffeescript compiler (coffee) + uglifyjs (unless you edit the Makefile) + A few basic shell commands (possibly the GNU variants): make, cat, head, tail On debian (unstable as of this writing) you can get these prerequisites installed like so: apt-get install coffeescript libjs-jquery node-uglify node-less make And you'll need a word list. This is a file with one word per line, with unix newlines (just LF). Download or create such a file, and name it wordlist.txt and place it in this directory. Then run: make That should minify and combine all the files for the game into one new file: index.html you can copy/move that file anywhere. See "How To Play" above.
