How?
How?
Motskwik is written in Java. The entire app was built from scratch using Android Studio. No framework was used. The icons and other pictures were created using Inkscape, a vector graphics software. Git and GitHub were used for version control.

Rolling Set of Letters (RSL)
Decryption
Fixed Set of Letters
You are given a fixed set of letters from which you have to form words.
Crossword
You must complete a crossword to win, sizes and shapes vary as crosswords are automatically generated.
Word Guess
You have to find a secret word made of 4 to 8 letters. The feedback indicates whether a letter is correctly placed, misplaced, or not in the word.
Masterguess
Like "Word Guess", the objective is to guess a word of 4 to 8 letters. But in this mode, the clues are given, as in the "Mastermind", next to the word and not directly on the letters.
Rolling Set of Letters
You start with a set of letters but as soon as a letter tile is used, it is replaced by another letter.
Decryption
You have to find the decryption pairs to decrypt the words.
Difficulty
Difficulty
5 levels of difficulty are available ranging from "very easy" to "very difficult".

Bonuses
Bonuses
Block the opponent
The other player is stopped for 5 seconds. Its vehicle does not forward.
All modes except "Decryption"
Reveal letters
5 letters belonging to words not found are revealed. A word cannot be fully revealed using the bonus, so there will always be a letter hidden.
Only "FSL" and "Crossword" modes
Increase the combo
The combo is temporarily increased by 3 points. So when reset, the combo takes the value 3 and not 0. If a combo is in process, it is increased by 3.
Only "FSL" and "RSL" modes
Reduce the cost of other bonuses
The costs of other bonuses are temporarily reduced by 2 points.
All modes except "Decryption"
Reveal a word
A randomly chosen 3-letter word is revealed. If all 3-letter words have already been found, a 4-letter word is unveiled. The word gives the same amount of points as if found by the player and the combo is increased by one point.
All modes except "Decryption"
Change the letters
All the letters in the set are replaced by randomly chosen letters.
Only "RSL" mode
Mastermind
Key pegs for the current proposal will be displayed: a beige peg indicates a correctly placed letter and a gray peg is a letter that is part of the solution but is misplaced. The pegs history is available by clicking on the second button at the bottom.
Only "Decryption" mode
