My computer's water cooler died so my computer can't function right now without major heat issues and throttling. No coding for me until I get it fixed, unfortunately. Also, no video until then. I actually had plans on doing it yesterday evening and that's when it broke.

Well, yes, but this one has one or two features that I've never seen in other word-games, so at the risk of overloading this genre of Programs (and the mentalities of the non-lexophile group), here it is.
It's attached as a .zip file, with the dictionary folder Wordlists, which should be in the same folder as the .bas file.

I have a tutorial user that has reported my pixel perfect collision routines are not working in v3.5.0 but work fine in v3.4.1 but I can't replicate this.
The code below I've tested in the following and it works fine:
- Windows 7 SP2 and QB64PE v3.4.1 and v3.5.0
- The latest version of Linux Mint and QB64PE v3.5.0
For those of you with different versions of Windows, Linux, and MacOS would you kindly run the code below and let me know what you find out? The ZIP file attached contains the code and the two image files needed to run it.

This is from James D Jarvis, a handy way to make random numbers centered and dense around a center point andtapering off within a range. Here my test code I made for this, one for Integers and one for floats, single is assumed Type.
CW stands for Center Weight:
Code: (Select All)
_Title "rndCWI function" 'b+ 2023-01-20
Dim As Long low, high
high = 5
low = -high
Dim As Long a(low - 1 To high + 1)
For i = 1 To 100000
r = rndCWI(0, high)
a(r) = a(r) + 1
Next
For i = low - 1 To high + 1
Print String$(Int(a(i) / 1000 + .5), "*"), a(i) / 1000, i
Next
' 2023-01-20
Function rndCWI (center, range) 'center +/-range weights to center
Dim As Long halfRange, c
halfRange = Int(range) + 1 'for INT(Rnd) round range in case not integer
c = Int(center + .5)
rndCWI = c + Int(Rnd * (halfRange)) - Int(Rnd * (halfRange))
End Function
' 2023-01-20
Function rndCW (C As Single, range As Single) 'center +/-range weights to center
rndCW = C + Rnd * range - Rnd * range
End Function
Just drop the I from rndCWI to test the float version.
This is a simple program that works like "Cowsay" Flatpak app. It associates a quotation with a silly ASCII picture of an animal or person or something else. It draws a balloon around the quotation. Maybe I should have added the option for "thought" which is fluffier cloud...
This requires at least two files:
personaje.txt - contains the ASCII art. Each "personality" should be separated by a single line which has only three dashes, no whitespace around it, only newline should follow it.
personajq.txt - contains the quotations, one per line.
A file could be asked for in interactive mode:
personaj1.txt - has the quotation that you prefer to give the personality which is not found in "personajq.txt". I wrote this program originally in Freebasic, and I'm not sure if "_CLIPBOARD$" function works on Linux. Otherwise for Windows the change to that function could be certainly done.
Also in interactive mode it's possible to load a text file of your choice to display the personality on the terminal.
This program does no special formatting for the personality, only for the balloon and caption inside. Its output is into the terminal to make it easier to copy and paste into a text editor to foul it up...
Run this program without parameters and it comes up with a random quotation and a random personality from the two files required for it. Otherwise type "help" after the program name to see what's in it for interactive mode.
I'm only including the source code. I leave it to your imagination to go looking for ASCII art and things to say...

EDIT: Made sure it could work on "any" OS. Didn't process properly the "---" as last line of "personaje.txt", fixed. Didn't format the last line of balloon properly, fixed.
EDIT #2: Added a function, for display of the "personality" that turns the underscores into spaces, the annoying ones that interfere with image view.
