Watchword Dictionary

This repository contains the data files for the Watchword game dictionary, which are used by the following tools:

• Recommended use: Discord bot (https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1376949038061981860)
  • Works in DMs, servers shared with the bot, or anywhere (ephemerally)
  • Hosted locally by me; uptime is not guaranteed
• Secondary use: Interactive webapp (https://silvncr.github.io/watchword-dictionary/)

Watchword is available on Steam. I am not affiliated. See Legal.

Changelog

Note

Development occurs on the Discord bot first, then the webapp is updated for parity where necessary (some features may be missing). As such, only the Discord bot is version-tracked.

0.5.x

• Added /info command; gives information about the bot, links to this repo, etc.
• Re-added unreleased commands: /host and /versions
  • /host displays host information (for debugging purposes)
  • /versions displays app and tool ("dependency") versions
• Re-added /coverage command
  • It's fun, I feel bad if it's not included

0.4.x

• Removed /coverage command for simplicity
  • From this point, the application should only contain functionality relating to the Watchword game
  • Any miscellaneous functionality (such as the former /coverage) will be moved to utils

0.3.x

• Added flags system
  • Multiple wordlists are compiled on load to closer reflect in-game behaviour
  • Flag names are arbitrary; it's up to the user to discern what they mean

0.2.x

• Added dictionary functionality
  • Definitions appear under /check result
  • Added /coverage command to see an overview of dictionary data per version
• Added support for multiple game versions
  • /check and /coverage now have a version: parameter
  • The newest version is selected by default

0.1.x

• Added /check command; check if a word is valid or invalid
• Added basic /ping command
