Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

This is what I made for an English vocabulary project using a set list of 'grade 10' vocabulary words.
The ending's better, it doesn't involve vocabulary.

In regards to the part where the fisherman tells you to turn around; it's not obvious what to do, so I'll tell you this: there's a button on the screen that'll appear when hovered over, so just move your mouse around and you're sure to find it with a few tries.

Anyway, please enjoy! ^-^

Good idea

I liked it and it was pretty sweet but there were a couple of times where more than one of the options was a possible definition of the word and both of them made sense in the sentence, so occasionally there were times where it wasn't very clear which one to pick, so if you're going to do something like this again I would recommend having a friend run through it first, because while it may be clear to you which answer to pick, given that you made it, some of them can be confusing/

great idea...

.. cos my classmates can't spell "communist"

Good but not perfect

I noticed that in some instances your synonyms were not entirely accurate.

For example, the fisherman mentions the pyromaniac's ingenious raids. Here, ingenious is used as an adjective. But the answer given for ingenious, brilliance, is synonymous to the noun form of ingenious, not the adjectival form. The choice should have been brilliant to maintain parallelism.

Also, there are two correct answers for heed (be aware and listen to). Given the context, listen to is actually a more accurate and appropriate answer.

On the good side, I like that in a few cases previous words showed up as choices for later words. That builds on the learning experience and reinforces prior knowledge.

If you make another, perhaps slow down the speed of the text. Given that the game is meant to improve vocabulary, one can assume the intended audience might not be able to read as quickly.

Mmm, I realised the 'brilliance' thing after I'd uploaded it.

And it was also really hard to think of four different choices for some of the words. ._.

But thanks! ^-^

Great

Interesting and educational, I'd let my daughter play this for sure if she was old enough, it exhudes grammatical finnise and would undoubtably hone an adolescent mind on complex phrases, haha.

Nice work though

thanks
