Needless to say the game got boring really fast, but it was neat writing the program. I've modified it a bit to instead play the game, but I'm a fairly new user and would appreciate any feedback, both ruby related and general programming. To run this you'll need a dictionary file of words, each on a new line, called wordlist.txt and you need to require 'dict' and run Dict.reduce(3,6) before you run the program. This will create a reduced dictionary file of only words of lengths between 3 and 6. I didn't make this part of my program's general execution as I figured doing this once was enough and I could do it manually. It's got a simple text interface that looks sort of like the TextTwist gui layout on Yahoo. Sort of. The dictionary I use, which I did not attach because its size (3 megs, I believe it was the full Scrabble dictionary) makes for a much harder game than the Yahoo TextTwist as some of the words are really obscure. Also, I have the problem that when running this on Windows it doesn't allow me to manipulate files with Ruby, giving me a Permission Denied error on File.open. Any idea why this might be? This is if I try to run Dict.reduce(3,6) for example. ------ art_52814_7878178.1168174043682 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline It just so happened that I was learning ruby last summer and wrote a program to cheat for me at TextTwist.
