User points

Not an extremely serious issue, but should think of point distribution. Currently I've kept a simple logic on guess branch

• Word guessed correctly on first go: 5 pts
• Word guessed correctly on second go: 2 pts
• Word guessed incorrectly first and second go : 0pts

However, as initially mentioned, having it correlate to the time factor would keep it more engaging/competitive. My idea was just a simple calculation with the time factor. Would love everyone's suggestions :)

Good idea! I think it's good idea to reward people guessing in fewer guesses. I think it's difficult to reward guessing in less time. But, I have this idea:

We could set a time limit for guessing, quite similar to typical Pictionary games, say 30 seconds.

We could then do a simple calculation that takes into account both:

• how much time is remaining when they guessed correctly
• how many guesses they took to guess correctly

Simple equation might be: points = (seconds remaining / number of guesses) x 100

Specifics would need to be ironed out. Thoughts?

Refining this point scoring equation would be good future work of this project.
