Play Lingo in JavaScript

Last friday at creanyx we started our official hackdays and we created a fix for contact sharing Source

This friday we came up with an idea for creating a TV show game by the name of Lingo in JavaScript. So we fired our jetpacks and did a hack session. I was working on the front end mechanics while Ahmad was working on the back end mechanics of the game.

The rules of the games are very simple.

• You have to judge a five letter word with a 5 chances in hand.
• Only first letter is given to you as a starting point.
• As an example if the word is "water" you will be given with w to start with.
• You make a guess and add the following letters, let's say you type in "wound".
• On pressing Enter the system will process your input.
• As "wound" only matches "water" with a single letter which is "w" the system will show all the letters except "w" in red.
• If you have entered "waste" then the system have shown you "wa" in green.
• If your letter is present in the final word but is not on the right location then it will be shown in blue background. This is giving you a hint that the letter is present and you can think of any other which contains the letter on a different position.
• Once you judge the correct the right word you will see a congratulations message.
• Or you can play again by pressing the playagain button.

Here is the screen shot in action.
