"Scrabble crossed with Tetris"

Sometime-Doper audient found a new word game: Deepleap.

The idea is that you take the letters that pop up and make words out of them before they disappear. You make points based on the length (and, apparently, “quality,” in the Scrabble sense – “ode” and “alee” got 14 points each, “away” got 63 and “sizes” got 75) of the words, and lose points if a letter disappears before you use it or if you try to play a bogus word.

I got 694 on my second game.

Enjoy!

it aint workin for me

This is pretty cool, but I’m a bit perplexed about how the scoring works. What determines the multiplier for each word, and what are the letter values? Here’s my score sheet from playing one game:




Points: 472  - Multiplier: 2.5x - Game #397

    * -1: e. Letter not used.
    * +15: ma. 6 Points +2.5x Multiplier.
    * +12: nu. 5 Points +2.4x Multiplier.
    * +14: use. 6 Points +2.4x Multiplier.
    * +60: vase. 17 Points +1.5x Word Length. +2.3x Multiplier.
    * +62: love. 18 Points +1.5x Word Length. +2.3x Multiplier.
    * +36: noose. 8 Points +2x Word Length. +2.3x Multiplier.
    * +22: bar. 8 Points +2.2x Multiplier. +1.25x Clean Slate.
    * +22: poi. 8 Points +2.2x Multiplier. +1.25x Clean Slate.
    * +19: area. 6 Points +1.5x Word Length. +2.1x Multiplier.
    * +12: lit. 6 Points +2.1x Multiplier.
    * +24: dirt. 8 Points +1.5x Word Length. +2.0x Multiplier.
    * +13: sun. 7 Points +1.9x Multiplier.
    * +18: pop. 10 Points +1.8x Multiplier.
    * +12: coo. 7 Points +1.7x Multiplier.
    * +22: gist. 9 Points +1.5x Word Length. +1.6x Multiplier.
    * +27: toys. 12 Points +1.5x Word Length. +1.5x Multiplier.
    * +17: hies. 8 Points +1.5x Word Length. +1.4x Multiplier.
    * +8: lot. 6 Points +1.3x Multiplier.
    * +26: mints. 11 Points +2x Word Length. +1.2x Multiplier.
    * +18: pond. 11 Points +1.5x Word Length. +1.1x Multiplier.
    * +14: heat. 9 Points +1.5x Word Length. 


It helps to know lots of those little two- and three-letter Scrabble words :stuck_out_tongue:

Hm, I go for longer words – which gives the word length bonus.

But no, I have no idea how the scoring works.

And Mad – not sure what the problem is. Try hitting “refresh” on your browser, or control/F5, both of which bring up a new game for me.

Don’t mind me, I was expecting a thread about WordTris.

from reading the code…

the multiplier goes up by .1 each time you get a valid word. If you submit an invalid word or lose a letter due to time, the multiplier goes back down to 1.0.

so this means that if you play cleanly, you can score more points later in the game.

there’s another multiplier for word length.
4 letters=1.5x, 5 letters=2x, 6 letters=2.5x, etc.

lastly, a word’s score is multiplied by 1.25 if you use all letters. “clean slate”

so those 3 factors are multiplied by, i think the scrabble score for the word.

btw, i got it from metafilter

You are hated.

Now this is what I’m talking about! 777 points!

It helps if you can type really fast to get those Clean Slate bonuses.

It also appears the point values do not match Scrabble exactly. In Scrabble, R is a one-point letter and H is four points. In this game they are two and five, apparently.

Do you have a stack overflow at line 158, too? It won’t let me play, either. I was sooo excited, Scrabble and Tetris are my favorite games. :frowning:

Yep I get that

What browser are you guys using? It’s working great for me in Firefox on MacOS.

So was I.

I don’t know WordTris – que est que c’est?

wow, this is a time sponge!

Firefox does work…Yay!

I really like this one, too. It’s fun!

It was the third Tetris sequel released around 1992. Basically letters fell rather than blocks and these landed in a crossword type grid.
