any chance we can get scrabble in tw?

[Jason]

i think it was starwars zone that originally had this, and i believe there was some kind of exclusivity due to the people who developed it, but man oh man, i would love to have a scrabble arena in tw. i would even go so far as to set up a scrabble league.

yeah, i'm that much of a nerd. wannafightaboutit?

[Nockm]

Bit off-topic but have you played boggle in TW? It's been hosted using the bots several times and it's always been fun.

[Jason]

what?! we have boggle?!

my mind has just been boggled. pun most definitely intended.

gotta try this.

[Nockm]

Yeah it's seriously good! We have some fast minds out there in the trenches. After each round there's always someone with a massive score and everyone else is like "HOW?" "NICE..." "DAMN!!"

[Xog]

This has been played in ?go lasertag before

I'm 99% sure the existing Scrabble module is a MervBot plugin, so someone would have to make one for TWCore.

[I.d.i.o.t.]

I actually spoke to a SysOp from one of the zones that currently has Scrabble and they sent me all the things needed for Scrabble. It is done with MervBot, Stab. If I could just find someone with the time and interest to set it up for us...

:down:

scrabble engines reduce internet scrabble to "who has the luckiest draw".

What a weird idea using action game engine for board games. It is like repairing teeth through ass.

In other words, fuck scrabble.

[kthx]

Yeah I am pretty sure Priitk didn't envision TW becoming a place where a large portion of the playerbase only logs in to use the ?chat feature either but 15 years later here we are. I would like to play some scrabble in my IRC room.

[Jason]

yeah, i'm not really worried about the overall interest levels. i'm just being selfish, and i wanna play it myself. fuck all the haters.

shame the current plugin is for mervbot.

If you would like to make a ticket on twcore.org maybe when one of our bot developers have enough spare time then they can make the module. Make sure you register before making a ticket so we know who reported it.

[Jason]

there's a small chance i may already have a head start on this project. back in my early comp sci days at college, pretty sure it was freshman year, we wrote a java based scrabble game for a group project. i'm going to have to do some serious digging to see if i can find any of the code, though. and even then, i'm not sure it will translate very well into a twcore implementation.
