Make Words

This entry was made using the Bevy game engine, which is written in rust. My goal was to make an interactive experience where users could assemble letters to “make words”. The letters also play the sounds of their pronunciation when selected, and when letters are connected, each letter's sound is played in sequence. The combined audio segments hardly sound correct, so the words always sound weird, but I found that fun. The goal of the game is not to do things “correctly”, but to simply do - it's a space to mess around and create.

The goal for me presonally was learning more Bevy, specifically making a drag and drop system. It was a fun learning experience, even adding a trash can and a “draw” for users to “grab” letters. I even implemented a spell checking system (initially, I thought of challenging the user to spell specific words, but I ended up letting the user create whatever, only checking for specific, banned words).
