Yesterday I spent some time working on the back-end of the upcoming Foldapuz-Play script.

-=-=-

Though I'm not "supposed" to be starting the coding until Advent, I figured it'd be a good idea to get a few background things up and running first.
As such, I played a game of "find a ton of common 5-letter words, make a new 5-letter word list with them, then create a few 5x5 grid layout templates"
..
Oh, what a fun game.

After a couple of hours, I've got a nice big migraine from all the complexities of, what was essentially, trying to code several Foldapuz generators all in a short space of time.
Ugh.
But it's getting closer to being a "thing" now.
The shell of "Five Words" is .. still not playable.. But you can pretend to play it, now, at least.

You can nosey at Foldapuz-Play here.
Along the top left are the five words to find in the grid (all smushed together because I couldn't be bothered adding the spaces back in!) and they should be easy enough to find in the grid.
Again, it doesn't "play" yet, but that shouldn't be too hard of a task to get up and running.

Alongside getting Five Words half working, I've got a few other puzzles jotted down, ready to integrate.
First I need to get Five Words up and running, then move on to the Hamburger Menu, where I can start to integrate all the other functionality into the new framework, before I move on to making those other games..

Yep, yep, yep.. This is definitely this year's Advent Challenge!!

(It's made WAY too many blocks with D's on them!)
