Scribble, crossword game, on extras-devel.

It doesn't have graphical GUI, check screenshot. One human against one computer, several difficulties. Seems to have only English wordlists and rules. It uses 5MB of rootfs because of perl. Package is from Ubuntu.

Game is by Brian White, code is public domain. Generating wordlists uses some "personal, noncommercial use" word lists as data sources. Debian is pondering should it be then in non-free section [ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408373 ]


No menu entry. Start from commandline (scribble).
This version of Scribble includes a full dictionary, adaptive
vocabulary, and simple learning. Lower difficulty levels give the
computer fewer words to choose from but if you use a word that the
computer wouldn't have, it's fair game from that point forward. At
maximum difficulty, the computer will play about a 750 point game.

This package is not for beginners as the display does not include
letter values or a description of what the symbols on the board
represent. You must be familiar with the game of Scrabble(R) before
trying to play this game.

You know that I have to ask.....

Can this run on Diablo?

I'm not too sure about it's current status with Perl.

Yes. Enable repository "deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo free non-free"
(e.g.)
Code:
echo "deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo free non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
(because of perl-modules).

And then scribble from (diablo) extras-devel.

On N800 game starts a little bit long, loading dictionaries and so on, but after that it works. Playing without hardware keyboard is not so fun, because screen size is not enough for board and keyboard.

This might be offtopic, but be more specific: name of game, some web page, link to the source code... I know 'bovo' from kdegames, (http://games.kde.org/game.php?game=bovo) and that is currently out of scope.

I just finished my first game.



This works very well so thank you again.

For the ending, it just goes to the command prompt, but still, this is very cool Aapo.

Good start. But code doesn't have tools to compile (no makefiles or configure), it is written very windows-specific and it doesn't have any license information.

Is Pente enough? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pente
" a variant of renju or gomoku which is played on a Go board"
e.g. this one from Debian/Ubuntu would be straightforward: http://www.igoweb.org/~wms/comp/pente/

EDIT:
Check package named givemefive. [http://maemo.org/packages/view/givemefive/]
