Kwiminyaka engama-75 eyadlulayo uAlfred Butts wasungula iScrabble , Elona gama ligqibeleleyo kwaye libalaseleyo lomdlalo wegama owakha wenziwa. Wanika itayile nganye kumdlalo ixabiso elisekwe kumaxesha avele kwiphepha langaphambili le- INew York Times , kodwa ulwimi lwesiNgesi lutshintshile kakhulu ukusukela ngo-1938. Ngoku, umphandi ogama lakhe lingu UJoshua Lewis ufuna ukuba i-Scrabble ihlaziye ixabiso leethayile zayo . Abantu bacebise ukutshintsha amanqaku kwixa elidlulileyo, kodwa uLewis wathabatha inyathelo lokuqala wabhala isiqwenga sesoftware esiguqule amaxabiso kumdlalo. Ndiyayithanda i-gumption yakho, Lewis.
Isoftware eyenziwe nguLewis ibizwa ngokuba UValet , kwaye ihlengahlengisa amaxabiso amaxabiso oonobumba asekwe kwizinto ezintathu. Kuqala kujongwa ukuba ileta isetyenziswa kaninzi kangakanani ngesiNgesi, kwaye sicinga ukuba usebenzisa isampulu enkulu kunelinye iphepha lephephandaba. Emva koko ijonga ukuba ileta isetyenziswa kangaphi kumagama obude obahlukeneyo. Kuba amagama amade axabisa amanqaku ngakumbi, iileta ezingenakusetyenziswa kumagama amaninzi amade kufuneka zibe nexabiso elahlukileyo kunelo linako. UValett emva koko ufumana amanqaku koonobumba ngokulula kwabo ekudlaleni nabanye oonobumba. Q, umzekelo, kunzima ukudlala ngaphandle kokuba no-U ngokunjalo, ke ifumana ixabiso eliphezulu kune-E, ebhangqwe ngoonobumba abahlukeneyo kwesi sivakalisi sodwa.
Umongameli-mbutho we-North American Scrabble Players Association UJohn Chew uthi uyeva impikiswano enye okanye ezimbini ezifanayo ngokutshintsha amaxabiso eethayile minyaka le. Akayiboni isenzeka nangaliphi na ixesha kungekudala, ebanga ukuba kuya kubakho intlekele yomsindo ngabadlali ukuba amaxabiso eethayile atshintshiwe. Emva kwempendulo evela kubafundi endiyifumene ngokubhala ibali ndicebisa uluhlu lwamaqhekeza amatsha oMonopoli, ndinotyekelo lokumkholelwa. Abantu bayithatha kakhulu imidlalo yabo.
Ukuhlafuna kwakhona kuzisa inqaku elihle lokuba inkqubo kaLewis ayibonakali ngathi iyaphendula - ixabiso lokulingana. Iziqwenga azifanelekanga kuphela kumanqaku aboniswe kwithayile. Iziqwenga ezibini ezingenanto emdlalweni zixabisa amanqaku ngokwawo, kodwa zixabiseke kakhulu kumdlalo kuba zivumela umdlali ukuba enze amanye amagama, kwaye adlale iileta ezinzima njengo-Q ngokulula. Banokuba ngamanqaku e-zero ngokwabo, kodwa banexabiso eliphezulu kakhulu.
Elinye inqaku elenziwa nguKuhlafuna kukuba abantu banokungaluhoyi naluphi na uhlaziyo kumaxabiso eethayile, kodwa akunakulunga. Ingxelo ngu UFilipu Nelkon , Ummeli osemthethweni wase-UK waseScrabble, uthi:
UMatel akanazicwangciso zokutshintsha iithayile zeScrabble. Ayingomdlalo apho ubulungisa buyeyona nto iphambili, ngumdlalo wethamsanqa kwaye ukutshintsha amaxabiso eethayile ngekhe kufezekise nantoni na.
U-Lewis ucacisa indlela amaxabiso eetayile alichaphazela ngayo inqanaba lomdlalo:
Unethamsanqa ngenene ukuba ukhetha i-X kuba ixabise kakhulu kwaye ayinathamsanqa ukuba ukhetha i-V.
Ngethamsanqa kunye nesicwangciso-qhinga yinxalenye enkulu yento eyenza ukuba iScrabble ibe ngumdlalo omkhulu kangaka, kwaye ukurhweba abo ngaphandle ukuze babonakale kufanelekile kubonakala kungenantsingiselo. Okwangoku, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ufuna ukuthatha ingcebiso kaLewis kwaye udlale ngamaxabiso ahlaziyiweyo ungambamba Isoftware kaValett ngaphaya kweGitHub .
Kuthekani ukuba umsebenzi kaLewis uyabamba, kwaye iScrabble iyalitshintsha ngokusesikweni ixabiso leethayile zayo? Banokwenza ntoni abantu ngazo zonke ezo ziqwenga zindala? Benza ii-cufflinks ezijongeka zintle.
(nge I-BBC , gubungela umfanekiso nge osiweyo , ii-cufflinks umfanekiso nge umbhobho )
- Iingcebiso ezi-8 zeziqwenga ezingcono zoMonopoli
- Kukho isayensi emva kokuba siphulukana nemidlalo
- Ukuba iinethiwekhi zentlalo bezidlala umngcipheko, i-Facebook ibiya kulawula
