AbbrevsMaster by davidB
This was my first participation to [Ludum Dare]
The Game
========
Goal : Become an AbbrevsMaster.
Find Abbreviation to clean the screen of its definition/translation and try to create a minimaliste view like "Google Search" and scoring.
Points : definition's length x number of occurences.
4 categories x 10 levels (each one have its own url).
Mainly tested on Chromium & Firefox
The Technologies
================
Runtime
-------
* Music: [Mr. Mealey's Mediocre Machine from Kevin MacLeod] (http://incompetech.com/)
* Font: Font-awesome, [weloveiconsfonts.com](http://weloveiconsfonts.com)
* Host: [github pages](http://pages.github.com/)
* Browser: Chrome / Chromium (better), Firefox, IE10 (no sound), Android 4 Chrome & Firefox (no sound, slow anim)
* Database: text file with content from [ChatSlang](http://www.chatslang.com/)
* CSS : bootwatch "Simplex" theme + custom
Dev time
--------
* debug/test : Dartium, Chromium, Firefox (print ;-) )
* lang: [Dart stack](http://dartlang.org) (SDK, DartEditor, Dartium), HTML5, CSS3
* lib: simple_audio, web_ui, widget
* editors: DartEditor, jEdit, vim
* builder : Ant, Freemarker
* OS: Arch linux, zsh (oh-myzsh), mc, ...
* Draw: Inkscape
* SoundFx: generator (as3sfxr)[http://www.superflashbros.net/as3sfxr/]
* Kanban: [Trello](https://trello.com/board/ld26/517afacee4a0282247000a89)
* SCM: git + [github](https://github.com/davidB/ld48_minimalism/)
* Google + some articles
The LD Theme : minimalism
=========================
I make game with minimal gfx (triangle, cube,...), sound, ... daily (WIP Game). So I should do something different. I'm a fan of web design "minimalist" and "Google Search" page is a famous example. So start on a game with a visual like it.
And Abbreviation because, it's to write the minimal characteres ;-)
I hope you will enjoyed it, and you find some fun when you'll crunch abbrevs.
Thx

+It's minimalistic alright.
-I'm not sold on the idea, but at least it's quite original.
I enjoyed the layout.
Bot100 can't loose, It follow the best path. But it can't play bonus (displayed randomly once or zero in first 3min).
The Boot100 is "a hare". ;-)
For example, WTF, LoL/lol/LOL weren't there. Also, sometimes things like :-) would work, but :) wouldn't.
Thanks for feedback
