Semantix Word Game

So the night before I had published an article about a game that I was developing and working on that randomly popped in my head that I should do.

Somehow I ended up staying up past 5am doing it (With no sleep and having to take the kids to school at 7am because I'm responsible like that).

I think it turned out good.

The Semantix game was my first game on the FreeAi.Games website where I employed a much deeper coding strategy to produce the desired output.

Of course there had to be a way for me to see the answers to the puzzles, because it is tough to guess some of these words and associations to other words in the general area of meaning or similarity.

It was also difficult to write the formula behind generating two who years of puzzles and preselected daily word puzzles including a Year To Date archive for additional game play and actual challenge.

I wrote some rules where there had to be some sort of reward or incentive to return to the site to play the game each day. I think about the New York Times and the Wordle game or the games my wife plays almost every day before she goes to bed and said, "I want to do that".

The goal of course being monetization and some ad revenue later in life (without being too spammy), and a project I could teach others and have fun beta testing and getting better at producing fun to play online web games. (You know.... to occupy your kid while your waiting for your flight at the airport, or to ignore society and others by digging your face into a screen like the rest of everyone else does for that endorphin dopamine hit we're all so guilty of)

The end result is a game that I've never played before, I know very little about but seems to be fun but maybe needs some user feedback.

The Semantix game I am told is a similar online game to the popular game Contexto (which I've never even hear that word until after this game was designed)

I have no idea even to now what that game looks like or if the free online web daily word puzzle game I designed using AI is anything like that (notice these seo keywords baby!)

I do know that I really like this game and think it is challenging and fun to play.

Today my son and I went back to play an archive date of this game from his birthday earlier this year just so I could watch him type, spell, learn new words, grow his mind. Together him and I guessed over 100 words and only got a little close to the correct word answer that solved the puzzle. We both were ready to give up because of how stupid and frustrating it was to try to guess a word form a list of 40,000 other words and find the exact one based on how close your guess is to the puzzle answer. The word on his birthday was such a simple, easy, common basic word that if we were even anywhere close to the word would have guess it correctly. It was fun watching him type and spell new words. For a 7 year old, this was a super fantastic way to teach him to type, teach a kid how to spell with a fun game where he didn't even know he was learning the keyboard configuration and how to type, read and all this great stuff kids should be doing. In the end though I was impressed with his vocabulary, his comprehension of associated words, and how we could work together to explore new words and teach him the meaning.

Needless to say, we could not figure out the answer and I had to go look at the top 25 words. What was funny is, I never even came close to any of those words that would have led me to the correct answer, but when I started to give me the suggestion to try some of them; he immediately started guessing nearby words leading him to most of the top 10 words. He earned one of the very elite statuses of this game of the very first person in the world to solve this exact puzzle number. (Like you could be too if you solve any daily puzzle or unsolved puzzle when the new word of the day puzzle drops at Midnight CST)

There's all kinds of fireworks and flares and fun effects earning you achievement awards (stored in a non tracking, non cookie private browser file) I hope that works, because If i think about the streak I have going for some of the apps or online games I play, I'd be sad to see that go away because I cleared something or a bug flaw)

All this to say, if you're looking for a fun game that teaches children or your kids spelling, language, words, typing (how to type) or get better using the computer keyboard. This Semantix game is a great one....

Last note: Jacob also helped me work on the Monster ball drop game a bit in the games under development section of the site by spam clicking dropping 2000+ balls onto the rotating platform. The game was glitching by sending balls everywhere, the scoring was giving him unlimited redemption "tickets" to buy all kinds of wacky power ups and multi-ball features and I still don't know if we ever fixed the game itself, but he was laughing something crazy for sure.

I had to take a break from real work for a little bit to enjoy that moment despite, me really pushing to get back to the website design project I was working on for the companies that are looking for business technology solutions. (I feel like the thousands of hours I've spent refining these skills is finally paying off with top quality results and web design performance)

Stay Crunchy and go play Semantix (and maybe the Monster ball drop game soon with be changed from development to live)
