Click on one of the links of defined puzzles on the left and then click on a letter in the grid to find one of the words from the list on the right.
If nothing happens when you click on a letter, that is a sign that letter is used by more than one words (free hint).
Clicking on a word in the list will cause that word to be highlighted in the grid. But, only ask for a hint if you are really stuck. You only get 5 hints per game!
docker compose up or lets up
In another shell:
./etc/refresh_puzzleboards.sh or lets refresh
refresh_puzzleboards.sh is designed to be able to be scheduled via cron. This may be needed in case of regular power failures. Ask me how I know ...
When done, hit CTRL-C and then lets down.
Huntwords is deployed onto a Raspberry Pi 4B using docker compose.
Also, in times past, redis-commander was not readily available as a published docker image and would need to be created from source.
The image for redis-commander on ghcr.io now supports linux/amd64, linux/arm/v7, and linux/arm64.
It is no longer needed to be created from source.
I have begun to make use of devcontainers as outlined in klmcwhirter/oci-shared-images.
This project is a little different than the other projects with which I started: Huntwords is deployed onto a Raspberry Pi 4B using docker compose.
So, the devcontainer is not intended to replace docker compose but instead to enable a container-first developer experience (DX).
