Arc Roam is my holiday project this Christmas. I wanted to create an online, browser-based, mobile-playable "destilled" alternative to the old classic PC game Elastomania, (and it's unofficial multiplayer mod Elma Online). I used to play Elma religiously, but it stopped working on Mac (via Wine) last year, so hopefully I now have a way of getting my fix again! Now all I need is someone to complete against :)

The tech stack is pretty simple: - React / canvas (2d) frontend - express / ws backend - Fully ephemeral, no storage (to save money)

Cool! Not to self-promote (no monetization or anything), but in case any one finds it helpful, I made something similar for myself to practice becoming more accurate with Wacom-style tablet pens: https://tabletpractice.arkt.is/

This is great too! Being able to draw nice straight lines with a tablet pen might debatably be even more useful than drawing a perfect circle.

Since we are sharing variants in different languages, here's Norwegian: https://www.fiveletters.xyz/no/five

#somebodyshould make a danish version…

I can modify my swedish one to do danish. Do you know of any good word lists? For all valid words I can use /usr/share/dict/danish. But do you know of any list that only has good clue words? I'm looking for something like https://scrabbleforening.wordpress.com/ordlister/ord-med-4-b... but for five letters

I can easily give you a list of all valid 5-letter words in Danish. Would that do?

PS: I'm unsure how the clue thing works?

Take the word "lampa". You have versions of the word: "lampor", "lampan" and so on. The correct word for each day should only be of the type "lampa". No "bending". That is the word list that I'm looking for. But you should be able to guess words that are "bent". Those I can get from /usr/share/dict/danish

I'm pretty sure I can give you a list of all 5-letter Danish words in the “lampa” form, but I need to work on it because I have to pour them through a filter first, and then manually inspect the thousands of words remaining.

Can we take this conversation to email? You can find my email address at https://kas.bio.link/ and I'm perfectly fine if you write in Swedish (if I may reply in Danish).

Here is the first attempt: https://ordlek.github.io/ordlek/dansk/

Hope you like it :)

I do! But it seems somebody beat us to it: https://xn--wrdle-vua.dk/

There is! It's called wørdle.dk :)

LOL! I love the domain name!!

That's for the stats feature that shows you e.g. your most guessed word, etc. It's all calculatated client-side. In fact, there is no backend at all!

It uses the scrabble dictionary (SOWPODS, as you mention) -- if it is a playable five-letter word in scrabble, then it is playable here.

I got to _love and tried clove and glove. Neither were the answer. Anyone?

I came across https://bert.org/2021/11/24/the-best-starting-word-in-wordle... on HN the other day, and decided to do my own take on the concept as a little weekend project.

Technology-wise, I wanted to try out two things that I hadn't tried before for this project.

One was to use Expo to release on web and mobile at the same time. I've used React Native quite a bit in a professional capacity, so I wanted to check out the Expo landscape. I discovered that the web part (react native web) didn't quite deliver on what I was looking for, so I scrapped it and ported to Vite/react-ts and dropped native completely.

The other was to see if I could find a low-friction way of setting up subscriptions for a static web frontend with no first party backend. That is the reason why there is a premium subscription tier for a small weekend game like this. Turns out that this was pretty straight forward with Gumroad! In the end, I was pretty happy with the way the flow turned out (except that Apple Pay isn't supported without stepping out of the flow and heading to Gumroad directly).

In a similar vein, here are my dweets: https://beta.dwitter.net/u/sigveseb/top
