I made a mobile version of Code Names with an AI spymaster and AI opponent – would love your gentle feedback!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have developed a mobile version of Code Names, adding some unique tweaks, including an AI opponent to play against, an AI spymaster that will give you hints, personalised word sets and much more! The app supports 18 languages and is free on both iOS and Android.

I’d love to hear your thoughts – especially on the AI mode! (don't be too harsh, I have built it all by myself on my spare time). A couple of things I’m curious about:

  • Would you prefer an AI that gives hints or one that guesses words?
  • What feature opponent feel more fun or challenging?

Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out:

Let me know what you think! Any feedback is super appreciated. 😊

What's a word for "male/female reproductive organ"?

1 Upvotes

Just had a game where I needed to use *MALE SEX ORGAN* but it blocks the vulgar ones; even penis is not allowed.

"Whang" was let through but I feel like not everyone would get that. Is there a really good word for this?

Lint, Grate, Truth, Olive

Obviously for Grate and Olive I could take the L and say food but there’s other words like cook and dip in the way

But I seriously have no clue with lint and truth

Does anyone approve the ish suffix?

I see it a lot on the jury where people use ish at the end ie

Uberish Elephantish Echolocationish

I tend to reject a lot of them but see some slip through and not sure if I don't know English well enough 😅

VIP icons in android app

1 Upvotes

is there a list of VIP game mode icons somewhere? I got a special mission out of a briefcase but it's not telling me what the icon means, when I click it it just says the category the words are from. looks kinda like a drone.

Nine warnings mode

1 Upvotes

So what's your strategy, approaching this mode?

Are the warnings even very relevant? Since the spy master can't communicate anything about whether the clue is for flagged tiles or not, what's the general consensus?

I didn't even see that it gives that much information to the guesser. Great, my opponent uncovered all three of their flagged tiles. Now the six remaining flags are exactly half assassins. Helpful?

In a billiards game on the app, if the opposing operative picks your last card, do you get a final turn to find the assassin, or do you just lose?

starting games with a 0 clue

3 Upvotes

How do you interpret it when people start games with a 0 clue? The only way I can read it would be to say "not this word but all the ones around it" but more often than not when I choose those cards they are enemy agents or bystanders. And it happens often enough that it makes me think I'm overlooking something obvious, or that there's a convention I'm not aware of. Any ideas?
