A daily browser game where the user tries to determine the subject of a random obfuscated Wikipedia

wikireveal.com's Issues

On the archive page group by year/month

The archive page is growing https://wikireveal.com/en/archive/ it will be nice to group puzzle by month and year (it can be donne directly into the template)

When found add message to share the player result online

When the player win the puzzle, use the success message to add a share score online action
This has to be localized

Auto scroll to found word in option

For now, when you find a word, the text will auto scroll to the position.

The idea is to add a checkbox near/under the guess button giving the option to auto scroll or stay in place.

Add some stats while playing

The idea is to get more feedback to the player about their actual performance, how many word found etc

In French it is too confusing to have to enter singular words only

That was a feature (enter singular words and it reveals both singular and plural words)
but in practice it should work the other way arround otherwise it's confusing.

Today if you enter a plural word it is not revealed, on the player perspective it's a bug

---

To fix this, it will be needed to associate two hashes for a given word

Page with the list of previous games and solutions

Make a page with the list of previous games + their solutions (but hidden)
Add a tag with the solution into it so it can be liste easily

Pluralization bug

Apparently pluralization is built in, but it has problems. As it is, if you enter "this" as a guess, you'll get 0 hits regardless; if you enter the 'word' "thi" you'll get many hits on "this". Similarly, guessing "has" gets no hits, "ha" gets many hits on "has". If you enter "men" you'll get hits on "man" but no hits on "men". Entering "man" gives you hits on "man and on "men".

Make a homepage

The idea is to present the projet and allow player to choose between implemented languages

Add a link to the original wikipedia when win

The idea is to add the link to the original wikipedia article when the player wins, this could be added to the title.

Add a Scroll Top button

The idea is to add a scroll top button on the main text page

Optimize wiki to html method

wikireveal.com/src/Controller/IndexController.php

Line 248 in b8f061a

* TODO: This code makes http queries even if they are not needed.

This code makes http queries even if they are not needed.
I'm sure this is not optimal but I did not find suffisant documentation
it use Parsoid under the hood https://github.com/wikimedia/parsoid/blob/master/tests/phpunit/Parsoid/ParsoidTest.php

If someone want to dig this and make some optimization it will be nice

Save current progress in multiple languages

If you play the french version and then the english one, you will lose your progress

It would be nicer to keep track of every lang (and even the full or most history — previous days)

If the subject has a plural word and the word is entered in singular it won't trigger the win condition

If the subject has a plural word and the word is entered in singular it won't trigger the win condition

English

Add english but still point to redactle (giving both option english and redactle)

Problem when handling of words with apostrophes

Bug: handling of words with apostrophes messed up: e.g. original text "Japan's" doesn't show up as, say, "XXXXX'X" but as "Japan'X".

Delete puzzle older than 3 months

The repository is growing quickly, and we don't need to keep the history of all puzzles.
In the publish script/command it would be nice to have a stage where the puzzle older than 3 months get deleted.

Share feature could be improved

On desktop the text could be pre copied and a message would say so.
on mobile the share intent does not provide the text (more like a bug)

When the player adds a guess, scroll the list top

The idea is when the player adds a guess, if the guess list is scrolled down, scroll back the list to the top

Open Graph and meta

The idea is to populate the needed meta tags/open graph and add a picture too so when the projet is shared on social network it looks better and is self descripting

Spanish

I'd love to see someone implementing the spanish language :)

Do not change focus back on mobile

On mobile it's more of a problem than a feature to put back the focus on the text field when it's lost.
Still we want to keep that feature on desktop.
So prevent playing with the focus on mobile

Focus back the input box

This is a RFC

The idea would be to put back the focus into the input box after a timeout when the focus has been lost.

i.e. If the player does an action on the page (click a word to see where it is, etc.) they don't have to remember to put back the focus in the box.

It is a bit tricky as it won't feel natual, it is not an expected browser behaviour

I entered a word in singular, it showed the word in the text, then I entered its plural version which was accounted as a new attempt (...)

I'm not sure if it is the same issue, but I entered a word in singular, it showed the word in the text, then I engered its plural version which was accounted as a new attempt. The only match of that plural was actually the singular previously matched

Example :
I enter "animal", it matches one word in text which is "animal"
I enter "animaux", it counts as a new attempt but also matches that same "animal" word in text
