Project Plan

Current Stage

Phase 1: Score Finder

The user enters their word and it calculates the base score in scrabble based on the letter values only.

Initial Design Idea

1. Ask the user to enter their word
2. Calculate the word score by summing the letter values based on scrabble letter values
3. Return the score and display it to the user

Planned Future Stages

These stages will be released for active development once the previous phase is complete.

Phase 2: Score Compare

The user gives 2 words and the program indicates which is the better scorer based on the letter values only.

Phase 3: Gameboard Setup

Allow user to set out their current board which the above tools can be utilised to calculate the optimal word and its placement on the board

Phase 4: Word Finder

Essentially an anagram solver - the user gives their letters and this shows them the best scoring word (or top 5 words, etc) they can make with them. Could also make use of the gameboard to show placement options too.

Phase 5: Graphical User Interface

Build a user interface for the tool.
