Neste jogo casual de estratégia com palavras, os jogadores navegam de uma palavra aleatória a outra encadeando sinônimos. Narrado por Richard Dawkins, ele revela trajetórias em uma vasta rede onde cada palavra se conecta por significados compartilhados. Um grafo modelado em 3D visualiza essas ligações, com as palavras como planetas atraídos pela gravidade relacional.
O multiplayer permite competições entre amigos, enquanto desafios globais semanais colocam os usuários frente a palavras de início e fim fixas. Os caminhos encontrados são compartilhados no Twitter e Facebook. Jogadores educacionais e fãs de palavras cruzadas apreciam seu design sem fins lucrativos, com todos os lucros destinados a caridades.
Synonymy is a non-profit, educational word game narrated by Richard Dawkins where players are challenged to find a path between random words through their network of synonyms. By taking the synonym of a word, and then a synonym of that synonym, and so on, you can ultimately arrive at any other word in a language.
The game supports multiplayer, and weekly challenges in which users can compete globally on set start and end words. Every time a path is uncovered by a user, it is tweeted from @synonymygame and posted to our Facebook page. All profits go to educational charities.
A visualization of the game's network can be seen here -- http://tinyurl.com/med6g8b -- In order to compute relative distance, all synonyms were mapped using 3d graphing software, as if each word were a planet that had a gravitational pull proportional to its number of relationships to other nodes. Above is a 2D representation of that model, a 40,000 x 40,000 rendering.
