Migrate Boggle #4

Open danvk opened 9 years ago

danvk commented 9 years ago

Current http://danvk.org/boggle.php is broken but still gets a decent amount of traffic.

One attractive option would be to re-implement Boggle in JavaScript and run it as a service on Heroku.

I could also build & run the C++ binary from danvk.org on Heroku.

I put webboggle up in a git repo: https://github.com/danvk/webboggle

and have a REST API running on Heroku:

$ curl 'http://webboggle.herokuapp.com/abcdefghijklmnop'
{
  "fie": "11 02 01",
  "fin": "11 02 13",
  "fink": "11 02 13 22",

I put up a demo page here. It has some layout problems and doesn't explain itself very well, but it works!

Remaining tasks:
