This will definitely bring back some childhood memories for some!
FLAMES is a game we played as kids to determine our ‘relationship status’.
FLAMES is an acronym which stands out for “Friends Lovers Admirers Marriage Enemies ‘Situationship’”. This game can determine the relationship between two (2) people with the use of their names.
Disclaimer: The game is not real, it is a GAME!
I decided to follow the theme of the season for this one! The script is written in Python.
Source code available here.
Demo available on my YouTube.
How to play:
- Write your name and the other person’s name: Use full name (Name & Surname) for best results!
- Cancel out the duplicates.
- Count the number of letters left.
- Then compare to FLAMES using the grid below
