Works In Progress
Richard Lyon is currently undertaking three programming projects a word lists database/retrieval application, a typing teacher game and a hangman game.
Word Lists
This is a C# WPF (using the MV-VC approach) project that allows the saving of word lists belonging to a specific category and allows filtered retrieval of the word lists.
This project is nearly completed with only the retrieval aspect and testing to be finished.
The project was initially going to use a database for storing the word lists, however to save time an xml file is used although the way the code is structured a database could be added by replacing only the data access layer.
Typing Teacher
This is a C# WinForms typing game/application with the aim of the game being to see how many words you can type before the time runs out. Words are randomly chosen from a word list and range from easy to hard to spell words.
This project is practically completed and is only awainting the completion of the Word Lists application so that a full word list(s) can be properly tested.
The difficulty of each word to type is chosen randomly and the three levels of difficulty only relate to the time added for each correctly typed word.
Hangman
This is a C# WinForms remake of the classic game of hangman.
This project is practically complete and is only awaiting the completion of the Word Lists application so that full word lists can be added and the game can be adaquately tested.
