Hangman

[mitiemann]

A couple of simple games should attract (young) gamers. Let's see whether I can pull this off.

Hey @mitiemann !

Yayyy happy that you are joining us! Some quick feedback on your draft:

• we should definitely publish the turtle code in a package! I will do that in 2 weeks (when i'm back from the bike trip), you should copy the code until then
• You can use PlutoUI.confirm for the button
• when this gets published on featured.plutojl.org, we will use https://github.com/JuliaPluto/PlutoSliderServer.jl to make it interactive on the web.
  Usually, this works seamlessly, but your notebook contains one pattern that PSS does not support: Warn when one bond defines another PlutoSliderServer.jl#138
  The solution is that random_word_box should just be a string, without UI element. That means replacing the code with this:

random_word_box="Julia
Notebook
Pluto
Hangman
Programmer
Feature
Bug
Gamer
Developer"

Then people can only edit the list when editing the notebook, but PSS will still work

You could also use HypertextLiteral.jl to style text if you want to make things bigger or add color.

Thanks for your feedback :-)

No hurries. Maybe I can even race you to the PR. Gamification for the win! ;-)

Thanks. But doesn't this introduce the forbidden "bind chain"-pattern again?

Btw.: having stateful objects in a reactive notebook feels ... weird. E.g., how would you even define cell order with stateful cells? Is this something that y'all have already had discussions about?

Thanks, will try. So far: bugs.

Hey @mitiemann! How is the PR going, do you want me to take a look?

[fonsp]

Take your time! Feel free to ask me to take a look if you want to think about it together.

Thanks for the gentle reminder, @fonsp . Come to think about it: I'm pretty busy in the moment, and I don't want to sit on it like a dragon on its treasure. (Not sure whether this scenario qualifies for calling it cookie licking?)
So, I declare this WIP open to anybody who wants to make progress on it. As far as I can see, this is the remaining list of ToDos:

• In PlutoTurtles add the possibility to start the animation of the drawing from some predrawn state.
• Alternatively: just make the Hangman appear successively
• Throw out everything that is no longer required and do some final polishing
  Thanks :-)
