Okay, creating a full Scrabble clone with all its rules (especially word validation and complex scoring edge cases) is quite involved for a single example. However, I can provide a solid foundation for a word game *similar* to Scrabble using Vue.js 3 (Options API) and Bootstrap 5.3, focusing on: 1. **Adjustable Board Size:** User can set the dimensions. 2. **Basic Board Generation:** Including some multiplier cells and a center star. 3. **Tile Bag & Rack:** Standard letter distribution and player rack. 4. **Tile Placement:** Selecting from the rack and placing on the board (temporary placement). 5. **Basic Turn Submission:** (Validation and scoring will be simplified placeholders). 6. **Recall Tiles:** Ability to take back tiles placed during the current turn. **Limitations in this Example:** * **No Word Validation:** It won't check if placed words are real words (requires a large dictionary). * **Simplified Scoring:** It will have a placeholder for scoring logic. Real Scrabble scoring is complex. * **Simplified Placement Rules:** It won't enforce all connection rules rigorously (like connecting to existing tiles after the first turn). * **Single Player Focus:** No turn switching or multiple player racks implemented. Let's build the structure. Vue Word Game

Save the three files (`index.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`) in the same directory. 2. Open `index.html` in your web browser. **Explanation:** 1. **HTML (`index.html`):** * Sets up Bootstrap layout. * Includes controls for board size and starting a new game. * Displays the score. * Renders the game board using `v-for` on a computed `flatBoard` property and CSS Grid (`boardGridStyle`). Board cells are clickable (`@click`) and support drag/drop (`@dragover`, `@drop`). * Renders the player rack using `v-for`. Tiles are clickable (`@click`) and draggable (`draggable`, `@dragstart`). * Shows remaining tile count and message area. 2. **CSS (`style.css`):** * Uses CSS Grid for the board layout. * Styles board cells, including different background colors for multipliers. * Styles tiles (on board and rack) showing letter and score. * Adds visual feedback for selected rack tiles and tiles placed during the current turn. * Includes basic responsiveness. 3. **JavaScript (`app.js` - Vue Options API):** * **`data`:** Holds all game state: board dimensions, the board array itself, tile bag, player rack, selected/placed tiles, score, etc. * **`computed`:** * `flatBoard`: Makes rendering the grid easier. * `boardGridStyle`: Dynamically sets CSS Grid columns/rows based on `boardSize`. * `centerCoordinates`: Calculates the center row/column. * **`methods`:** * `startNewGame`: Resets state, creates the board, initializes/shuffles the tile bag, draws initial tiles. * `createBoard`/`addMultipliers`: Generates the 2D board array and adds multiplier info to cells based on position (includes a standard 15x15 pattern and a simplified one for other sizes). * `initializeTileBag`/`shuffleTileBag`/`drawTiles`: Manages the tile supply. * `selectTileFromRack`/`placeTileOnBoard`: Handles user interaction for picking up and placing tiles *temporarily*. Uses the `placedTiles` array to track moves within a turn. * `recallTiles`/`recallSpecificTile`: Allows undoing placements made *during the current turn*. * `submitTurn`: Contains the core (simplified) logic for validating the move, calculating score, making placements permanent, drawing new tiles. * `hasAdjacentPermanentTile`/`findWordsFormedSimple`/`validateWord`/`calculateScoreSimple`: Placeholder/simplified methods for rule checking and scoring. * `handleDragStart`/`handleDropOnBoard`: Implements basic drag-and-drop from rack to board. * `getRowCol`/`getCellClass`/`getMultiplierText`/`setMessage`: Helper methods for rendering and UI feedback. * **`mounted`:** Calls `startNewGame` when the component is ready. This provides a functional base you can expand upon by implementing more robust validation, scoring, and potentially multiplayer features. Remember to add a real dictionary for proper word validation if you develop this further.
