Lobby Screen
The lobby screen is where players can host or join game lobbies for competitive real-time gameplay. Up to 4 players can join a lobby and engage in exciting word-guessing games. The lobby screen provides a seamless networking experience, allowing players to connect with friends or random players from across the globe.
To host a game lobby, simply select the "Host Game" option and wait for other players to join. Alternatively, you can join an existing lobby by selecting the "Join Game" option and entering the lobby code provided by the host.
Once the lobby is full or all players are ready, the game will start and players can begin guessing words and competing for the highest score. The lobby screen also displays the usernames of all players in the lobby, making it easy to keep track of who you're playing with.
Enjoy the competitive multiplayer experience of Spread the Word in the lobby screen and have fun improving your vocabulary while challenging your friends or other players worldwide.
- Gameplay
The gameplay screenshot showcases two players engaged in an intense word-guessing session of Wordle. Each player must strategically guess the correct word within a limited number of attempts. The objective is to be the first player to correctly guess the word and secure victory.
As shown in the screenshot, both players have their screens filled with letters and a text input field where they can enter their guesses. The game provides feedback on each guess, indicating which letters are correct and in the correct position, and which letters are correct but in the wrong position. Players can use this feedback to refine their subsequent guesses and increase their chances of winning.
The gameplay of Wordle is fast-paced and highly competitive, requiring players to think quickly and strategically to outsmart their opponents. With its engaging mechanics and challenging word puzzles, Wordle offers an exciting and addictive multiplayer experience for players of all skill levels.
- Leaderboard
The leaderboard screenshot showcases the ranking of players based on their number of wins in the game. Players are listed in descending order, with the player having the highest number of wins at the top. The leaderboard provides a competitive element to the game, allowing players to track their progress and compare their performance against others. It serves as a motivation for players to improve their skills and strive to reach the top of the leaderboard.
- Winner Across Lobby
The "Winner Across Lobby" screenshot showcases the moment when a player successfully guesses their word first and is declared the winner of the game. In this scenario, regardless of whether the other players have guessed their words or not, the screen displays the name of the person who guessed the word first. This is achieved by sending a message to the server/host, informing them that there is a winner for the game. Subsequent win messages will not change the winner, ensuring a fair and conclusive outcome. The "Winner Across Lobby" screen celebrates the victorious player and highlights their achievement in the multiplayer word-guessing game.
