Word Scramble is a game that requires you to build as many new words as possible using the letters from a root word

Word-Scramble-iOS-Swift-UI

Word Scramble is an iOS, Swift UI project with these implementaions:

• Loading assets into a project
• Parsing data from a text file/list into an array
• Keyboard input
• Removing AutoCapitalisation
• Removing AutoCorrect
• Autofocusing the input field
• Implementing game logic and rules
• Handling errors and communicating back to the user
• Building a List View from user generated words
• UI Toolbar Group
• Custom alerts to alert rule breaking

The aim of the game is to build as many of your own words as possible using the letters from a root word.

The rules are:

• You can only use the letters that are in the root word.
• You can only use each letter once.
• You cannot use more letters than there are.
• Your words need to be real English words, spelled correctly.
• Your words needs a minimum length of 3 characters.
• You cannot enter the same word twice.
• You cannot enter the root challenge word itself.

I also created an extension that implements additional features to my base project:

• Calculate all possible words from all possible permutations of the root letters.
• Communicate to the user the total "word space" of how many new words are possible to create.
• Update how many have been discovered out of the total word space.
• Additional scrabble dictionary list asset for checking all possible words.
• An improved scoring system that scales rewards based on word length.

In this implementation I discovered:

• The advantages of using Set<> over Array<> for it's Big O(1) access speed.
