En este casual word game de estrategia, los jugadores viajan de una palabra aleatoria a otra encadenando sinónimos. Narrado por Richard Dawkins, el juego desvela rutas a través de una inmensa red en la que cada palabra se conecta por significados compartidos. Un grafo modelado en 3D visualiza estos enlaces, con las palabras como planetas atraídos por una gravedad relacional.
El modo multijugador permite competir con amigos, mientras que los desafíos globales semanales enfrentan a los usuarios con palabras de inicio y fin fijas. Las rutas descubiertas se comparten en Twitter y Facebook. Jugadores educativos y fans de los puzles de palabras aprecian su diseño sin fines de lucro, con todas las ganancias destinadas a charities.
Synonymy is a non-profit, educational word game narrated by Richard Dawkins where players are challenged to find a path between random words through their network of synonyms. By taking the synonym of a word, and then a synonym of that synonym, and so on, you can ultimately arrive at any other word in a language.
The game supports multiplayer, and weekly challenges in which users can compete globally on set start and end words. Every time a path is uncovered by a user, it is tweeted from @synonymygame and posted to our Facebook page. All profits go to educational charities.
A visualization of the game's network can be seen here -- http://tinyurl.com/med6g8b -- In order to compute relative distance, all synonyms were mapped using 3d graphing software, as if each word were a planet that had a gravitational pull proportional to its number of relationships to other nodes. Above is a 2D representation of that model, a 40,000 x 40,000 rendering.
