boggler-flask

A Flask web app for solving the Boggle word game.

Live-demo

It's still a work in progress, but you can check out the live site at https://boggler.cblanken.dev.

Issues

If you notice any bugs while exploring the app please file an issue, so I can fix it. Thanks!

Usage

1. Submit the board
   • Fill out the board on the home page by clicking on a cell and entering the corresponding letter in your boggle board.
   • The TAB key can used to move to the next cell and SHIFT + TAB navigates to the previous cell.
   • Once the board is filled, click the Solve button at the bottom of the board.
2. Board and Table Interaction
   • The solved board page will display a table of found words. Click on the table row to show the path on the Boggle board
   • Individual board cells can also be clicked to filter the table to words that pass through that specific cell. The cell will be highlighted in red.
   • To remove the filter, click the button with the filter icon below the board.
   • Click on words in the table to show their path on the board.

Development

2. Run one of the the startup scripts. Launches the app in debug mode

$ ./boot-dev.sh

Launches the app with gunicorn in production mode

$ ./boot.sh

Navigate to the app at http://localhost:5000.

Docker

If you don't care about live reload you can run the fully containerized app with:

$ sudo FLASK_CONFIG=development docker-compose up 

Then the app should be available at http://localhost This is only recommended for deployment.
