Since writing Resurrection, I had a thought. I made the word puzzles by hand in that game - by getting various phrases and words that were relevant and scrambling them by hand. But I'd like to create a word puzzle generator for the future to save me having to scramble by hand and come up with themed words.
So I have a plan to make a script that takes a file of words, a single word or uses a pre-made dictionary, scrambles the letters and generates a file that contains the original word plus the scrambled word. Or in the case of a single word, just prints out the single word plus scrambled word.
It shouldn't be too hard, but my focus at the moment is on my Feb 1GAM. I'll be developing this as a side-project, but it would be really handy for making up content and puzzles for a roguelike or anything that may be more text-orientated.
