🧠 WikiFeud – The Wikipedia Word Duel

WikiFeud is a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer word game in couch-coop-mode, built during a hackathon. Two players go head-to-head by naming words they think appear frequently in a randomly selected Wikipedia article. The more often a word shows up in the article, the more points it scores!

🎮 Gameplay Overview

1. Welcome screen & game explanation
2. Players enter their names
3. Start the game with a key press
4. Randomly select starting player
5. Selection of Wikipedia-Article
   • Randomly selected in the background via the Wikipedia-API
   • Minimum article length required
6. Announce article title to players
7. Option to reroll and get a new article
8. In the background: Generate and clean up a word frequency list from the article using NLP
9. Display an empty scoreboard
10. Players take turns entering words
11. Scores:
    • Score is based on how often each word appears in the article
    • If the word doesn't appear in the generated word List, it scores 0
12. After X rounds (e.g., 5): Show total scores & Announce the winner!
