[Feature request] Make it possible to share a link to a free play game

Open CC007 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

It would be nice for 2 people to play the same free play game, through sharing a link to the game. That way multiple people can play competitively for those words.

This would be nice, because sometimes you want to play more than one word together per day and also be able to limit the generation for those words, which to my knowledge is only possible in free play.

After this is implemented, it would probably also easy to implement the ability to select a pokemon and then create a link, for a friend to guess the pokemon.

Hey there! The code is currently "frozen" as I'm working on a Javascript version of the game to alleviate server costs. Once that is done I can get to work on new features like this! Cheers, and thanks for your patience!

I also wondered if it can simply be without server setup at all, like Github Pages. You already have fake-daily.csv. If the date falls off, it might be possible to just loop to the beginning.

I'm sure it's possible! The work I'm doing to make it run client side will contribute to that if it eventually happens. For now I expect this should be more than enough.
