✨ parolottero 💖

okay bestie, so this is parolottero(6) — a lil game from the Games Manual section, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

parolottero — compose words from a grid of letters ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

parolottero

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is a word composition game 🍓.

first things first: you pick a language. then you drag your finger (or your mouse, if you're on a computer, no judgement) over the letters on the screen and compose as many words as possible before the time runs out. the clock is real, bestie, so don't be sleeping on it 😭

here's the movement rule: starting from any letter, you can only reach the 8 letters adjacent to it, and so on from there. releasing your finger (or your mouse) is what checks whether the word is valid or not. so yeah, the release is the moment of truth 🔥

scoring goes like this: each letter gives a score, and uncommon letters give a much higher score than common ones. that's the tea ☕

and now the juicy part 👑 — golden cells have a x2 bonus, while pink ones have a x3 bonus. so if an uncommon letter happens to have a bonus on it? try to include it as much as possible to score more points. that's literally free points, babe, take them 💖

the seed lets users repeat a game. it can be used to do multiplayer, if all the players agree on a seed. so if you and your besties wanna play the same board, that's the move 🌈

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

report all bugs here: <https://codeberg.org/parolottero/parolottero>

and to report bugs on words, you can enable bug reporting. edit ~/.config/Parolottero/Parolottero.conf and put a codeberg token in there. the token requires the public_repo permission 🔑

ngl it's giving "small setup, big payoff" — but yeah, don't forget that permission or it won't work.
