Penguin Hangout
About
This is a classical Hangout game. The goal of the game is to find an hidden word. You just have the number of letters and that's it.
This game has been designed for young kids, meaning that it is not possible to lose. you can pick all the letters up, the only end condition is to find the good ones.
In order to select letters, move your penguin below the desired one and just jump to get it. If it is part of the word, the letter will glow green. If not, it will glow red.
At the end of the game (when you have found the word), you have a specific screen appearing. You can restart a new word indefinitely.
The main advantage of this game is the ability to create several dictionaries. Just add a subfolder in 'dictionary' folder, place a text file named dictionary.txt in it and (optionaly) a picture named logo.png (96x96pixels). you can add all the words you want, they will be randomly selected. It makes this game fit with your kid vocabulary.
In order to play, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow KEYS to move your penguin. Press SPACE bar or UP arrow to jump and select a letter.
You can also use any controller pad plugged to your computer. Actually it should be detected automatically : push LEFT or RIGHT to move and press any button to jump.
