A fun, stress inducing two-player word game! A winner of the CodeDay Winter 2015 Best Game award

Noun Rush

Welcome to Noun Rush: a game based on the words you know. At the start of the game, both players must enter their name and the first player will start by entering a noun. The last letter of Player 1's word will be Player 2's first letter, meaning they have to think of a word that starts with that letter. The process continues with each player going back and forth thinking of words that begin with the previous word's last letter.

• Nouns cannot be repeated and you only have a certain amount of time! - Players gain one strike for each time they cannot think of a word. Three strikes and you're out!
• Shift + Backspace erases the entire line in the text entry box.
• Typing in "CodeDayWinningFeature" at the winner's screen resets the game back to the beginning where you enter the players' names.

Gameplay

• Yellow border around the text entry means the word is not included in the given dictionary, or has already been used.
• Red border around the text entry means you didn't submit a word in time and received a strike!
• Each player has 12 seconds to enter a word or you get a strike!
• If one player can't enter their word in time, the other player still has to submit a word using the same first letter!
