News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

danieltait

Good idea thanks!
Well done! And thanks for the clue
The words "Hacker" and "News" have been connected with a minimum two words between so far! Can anybody solve it with one?
This was a quick side project my partner and I created using ChatGPT. We've been competing every day on the daily trivia quiz which has been a lot of fun!

We would love some feedback on how we could best organise the topics into a nice site layout because right now we don't really have any ideas.

Nice! A good reminder for me to stretch today.

I'm currently working in the least ergonomic position possible bent over on the sofa with laptop on my chest. Will try your full routine later

Triviance released a special edition space quiz for today's starship launch. I was quite happy with my 9/10 score!

Hmm yes it is just random right now and agree often they are impossible to reach!

Will have a think how and if it should be more weighted

Updated now thanks!

I've added an instructions page now, thanks!

Sorry! I had only changed for the daily. Removed from practice and play now as well

Thanks!

Hmm yes what do you think could be a better way? Just the number of points?

Send me a french dad and a french dictionary and I can add it this afternoon haha!

Wow no I didn't know that is how the french play. I believe it is a much fairer version of the game and better tests the players skill

You have to start the word in the first square. I've just added an error message to highlight that when you try submit. Thanks for the feedback!

1. It shows the score just above the word if it is valid! 2. Yes agree thats a good idea. 3. I could add a new game mode where it shows you the target score, but I'm going to keep dad's score hidden for my own entertainment haha
Re:Can you beat my dad at Scrabble? on Thursday March 16, 2023 @06:34AM (#35180208)
I haven't added the bonus 50 points but maybe I should?
Re:Can you beat my dad at Scrabble? on Thursday March 16, 2023 @06:32AM (#35180194)
Thanks for the feedback! Triple and double letter score. I've just changed now so it says it explicitly
Re:Can you beat my dad at Scrabble? on Thursday March 16, 2023 @06:28AM (#35180164)
Hmm yes ok I just removed the refresh now.

The reason it was there is some days I opened the tab on my iphone and for some reason it still showed the yesterdays result rather than the new day's letters.

Will have a think of a better way to force the refresh of the letters on a new day.

This was a really fun game to make.

We've been playing scrabble together for years so it's nice I'm finally competent enough to code this online version.

I posted it on reddit and now over 1000 people are playing against my dad everyday haha.
