An addictive word game - can you beat par?


Paul Paterson

An addictive word game based on a combination of the game Boggle and golf. You play a series of holes and try to combine words with enough letters to make it to the hole. Each hole has a par so try to use as few words as possible. On the harder levels, stay away from bunkers and water traps to avoid penalty strokes.

    It wouldn't run for me, cannot read ".ico" file format. Had to comment out where it loads the ico, and then where it tries to use it. This should be fixable by just using set_ico without trying to load it as a surface.

    The actual game is a pretty neat idea. I play a lot of boggle, but this adds a little bit of strategy that makes things a bit more interesting.
