ECLIPSE is a text reconstruction game.
It uses total deletion. You have to rebuild a text that has been completely masked out. Impossible? Well no, much easier than you might think. You can see the word shapes and the punctuation, and you see a title. Guess a word that might be in the passage, and it will be filled in everywhere it occurs. Start with common words like THE or AND. Try all the words of the title. If the title is "NASREDDIN'S VISITORS" you could try NASREDDIN, VISIT, VISITS, VISITOR, VISITORS, VISITING, VISITED, COME, CAME, ARRIVE, ARRIVED, and so on. If you are really stuck, there will be help available, such as a five second glance at the original text or free letters.
ECLIPSE will exist in three distinct forms: SOLO mode in which you have to find all the words on your own, COMPETITION mode in which two players take turns to find words, and CHALLENGE mode in which a human plays against the copmputer. Each form has different kinds of help, but I try to ensure you need never get frustrated; some form of help will be available when you need it.
So far I have working versions of SOLO mode and CHALLENGE mode. COMPETITION mode is under development.
There is also a version of SOLO mode for learners of French.
Many of the stories are about Nasreddin, a figure from Middle Eastern folk lore, strongly associated with Turkey. Is he very clever or very stupid? Somehow he manages to be both.
