The Really Simple Wordsearch

Saola Animate
1

Still loving Saola Animate (2.0) and with more lockdown time here in the UK, decided to build another one of our old Opus Pro projects in Saola.

This time a wordsearch aimed at primary school level but suitable for anyone.

The key features are:

  • Tap to spell the words or click (touch) and swipe over the tiles.

  • Include wordpools for primary education or access from external CSV files.

  • Colourful highlighting of words with helpful colour match on word intersects and bold for initial letters.

  • Forward horizontal and vertical placement with option for backwards mode.

  • Randomisation of words, placement and placement type to ensure lots of different grids.

  • Speak words in bank (click) to aid EAL / SEN

  • Print (desktop).

  • QueryString parameter to adjust checking speed to help SEN.

Would you mind sharing how you did this?

Is there a specific aspect of the activity that you’d like to know about?

I would love to see the source file, but I understand you may not be able to share it.

Hi Anthony,

You’re welcome to see and use the source for non-commercial use. It’s rather a fragmented build as I was just bouncing around ideas trying to see how different things might work and whether I could reproduce the original Opus project. I hit wall after wall and so the code has lots of rewrites and bits that might not be in use (yet) or working quite right - but if it helps people see how Saola can be used or help someone else solve a problem - then that’s great.
