I was just testing the app with a screen reader on my phone (iPhone) and I noticed that there is no information whether a word is blue, red, bystander or assassin when going through the words. So, a blind player cannot play as the spymaster. Any chance you can add this feature? I'm not sure if you can simply add alt-text to the words that hte screen reader picks up while it is not visible in the UI to distract sighted players.

When the back card is selected, the game should show instant lose.

As per the README distribute website.. but there is no indication of what the URL to distribute is.

Would it be possible for you to add a word list for a NSFW version of the game? :) If not, would you mind if I forked the repo just for the purpose of making a personal version with a NSFW word list?

This app is really cool, and I absolutely love it. I want to start using the custom word set more often. One feature that would be nice is to either be able to use a different delimiter (for example semicolon or comma instead of space). Alternatively, you could create a way to upload the custom words from a CSV files. This would allow me to include some short phrases to go along with the words, as well as have include words from a special genre (for example medical words or history words)

As in the original game, it would be nice to start randomly with red or blue team.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for offering me the possibility to play Codenames with my friends during the lockdown. I have not tested it yet, but it seems great!
Before playing I decided to copy all the words of the French game. Here they are: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b4047Q2zs8l1BnFfrWY2HKXSPd66l-BgkqkH8HxTfw8/edit?usp=sharing
Perhaps you could integrate them in the game?
Thanks once more.

As the official set in English differs from the official set in Spanish, the google translator option does not result in the exact match.

May you include this set as an option? Attached is the list of words.

Thank you and congratulations for your nice utility.

Just wanted to confirm because there's no license file. My friends and I really enjoy this; thanks for writing it!

1. Start a new game in which red goes first.
   Note that the words remaining are correct - 9 for red and 8 for blue.
2. Start a new game in which blue goes first.
   Note that the words remaining are incorrect - there should be 9 for blue and 8 for red, but it is the other way around.

We love playing this for team building at work. We often play 2 or 3 games in a row which is how we found this bug. Whenever blue goes first, the words remaining counts are wrong.

add a button that explains how to set up the game. (how many PCs you need at the minimum).

Also, what the yellow field means?

Also in help - say it is not DUO version.

Using a seed that contains a sequence of repeating patterns generates the exact same game.

For instance:
"aa" and "aaa" generates the same list as "a"
"abab" and "ababab" generates the same list as "ab"
"abcabc" and "abcabcabc" generates the same list as "abc"

Hi Andee. Thanks so much for creating this great and simple to use implementation. Because I'm a graphic designer for board games, I'm kinda sensitive to the use of color in games. If it's easy to change, it'd be great to see the standard primary colors you use to match the aesthetic of the actual game a little better and be less harsh. It looks like your code calls rgb values, so here are some suggested replacement colors. Cheers!

RED (211,39,41)
BLUE (65,105,168)
YELLOW (209,191,163)
WHITE (222,214,215)
GREEN (117,162,96)

It's fairly easy to accidentally click the wrong square as spymaster, and there seems to be no easy way to undo its green color other than resetting and redoing all the green squares from scratch.

Would it make sense to make the "clicked" method act as a toggle in spy master mode, so that a second click turns it from green back to its original red/blue/gray color?

At first glance, this should fit with the current click method here: https://github.com/ninjabunny/KodeNames/blob/master/scripts/index.js#L130

Would it be possible to have a main seeded game generate a link/seed to the same 25 word grid but with the 'I am Spymaster' button hidden, ideally in a way that obscures the original seed.

Not a necessary feature by any means, but would assist games when not played locally.

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place, or an infeasible feature.

Thank you for hosting a robust version of Kodenames, it def provides a good bonding experience between friends and colleagues. While playing a game of Kodenames recently, I noticed that the game scoring system does not work when the Dark Reader Chrome extension. Attached figure has 4 correct Blue guesses and 2 correct Red guesses, but the score is at 8-8.

I think this may be due to how score calculation is implemented, where it manually checks the color of each box to decide the score. With Dark Reader, the color changes slightly and it may not be able to pick it up. Can you please look into this? A more robust way to decide the score would be to store in-memory the color of each box and see how many of each color have been revealed to the players yet. Let me know if I wasn't clear in my description. Thanks again!

I have checked and it seems that there are some problems with the Spanish word set.

I have a look at data.js and I think that the word list is truncated, "sable" is the last correct word, the rest of the word list is absent.
There is a problem too with some special Spanish characters, for example "pingüino", "revolución", "caña" are not correctly written. Perhaps it is an issue related to unicode conversion....
