ABOUT THIS GAME

Enter a private room with a join code and take turns drawing a secret word in pencil for your friends to guess. The drawer rolls a category die, picks one of three words, and sketches within 60 seconds while guessers race to type the correct answer. Wrong guesses earn a brief server-enforced rebuke. After all rounds the highest scorer wins. Words are drawn from a bilingual English–Danish dictionary; the server is authoritative for match flow, scoring, and stroke sync via short HTTP polling.

KEY FEATURES

Code-Shared Private Rooms
Host creates a room with a join code; players enter their name and are authenticated via player tokens. Server-authoritative PHP keeps room state consistent across all clients.
Bilingual Dictionary
English and Danish wordlists across 6 categories (Objects, Animals, Food, Places, Events, Jobs). Players choose language at room creation.
Server-Authoritative Match Flow
Turn-based loop with phase timers (roll, word-pick, draw, reveal, rebuke). Server validates all actions, enforces guess cooldowns, and syncs stroke order to all spectators.
Handdrawn Visual Style
Jittered double-pass pencil strokes, paper grain, slow wobble re-seed, and a hand-lettered font create a sketch-pad aesthetic rather than pixel art.
Optimistic Local Drawing
The active drawer sees their strokes immediately; stroke deltas stream via short HTTP polling and progressively render on spectator canvases.
Per-Player Win Stats
Match wins are recorded per-player via the shared player token system, surfacing on the launcher profile alongside other games.
