Objective

Ghost is a word game designed to get other players in the game to spell any word first as a letter is added each turn

Audience

The target audience isn't part of just one group. It could range from school-aged children using skills they just started obtaining, to adults looking for a challenge. It can be played during free time during the day or night.

Experience

A person would use my app to challenge themselves or their friends to think of longer, better words for their vocabulary in order not to be stuck spelling the word. It is fun to think of new ways to beat a fellow player while you are getting stimulated mentally. I want people to approach the game as a modern and new edge to Anagrams. I know that the game is popular, and I hope will be the next type in that category.

Technical

I used API's from Parse, Facebook to expedite the login process as not to discourage people from playing if they don't have an account. I am not using an API for the words, because I don't want the people (like me) who are underground or out of cell service range not to be able to play. There is a main menu with two buttons that allows you to start a game on your phone with other players, or to find a player not physically present to play. The next page is the game setup, complete with player section to add players, and to set the minimum word size desired. The last page is the game page; it contains the names of all the current players with their scores, and letters to add to the current word.
