#GHOST TERMINAL!

Ghost Terminal takes all of the excitement of the popular spelling game GHOST and allows you to play against a relentless computer in your terminal.

###Installation You must have Ruby version 2.0 or higher

Follow these steps in your terminal:

  1. Clone the GitHub repo into the desired folder with git clone https://github.com/jgertz26/ghost.git
  2. Install the bundler gem with gem install bundler
  3. Run bundle install
  4. Create the words database with createdb wordgames
  5. Create the database table and populate it with ruby import.rb. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME. Go make a sandwich or something while you wait.

#####Run the game with the command ruby game.rb, exit with ctrl + C

###Here are the rules:

  • Each round you will begin by entering a letter.
  • The computer will add a letter to yours and continue to spell out a word.
  • The object of the game is to avoid completing a valid word. Only words with 4 or more letters are considered valid.
  • The game is scored like HORSE. If you complete a word, you will be given a G (then an H, then an O, S and T)
  • First player to receive all the letters in GHOST loses tragically
  • You must be creating a valid word when you add a letter or you will promptly be called for your LIES.
