DerDieDasSpiel is a web app you can find under https://derdiedasspiel.de that allows you to practice the German articles Der, Die and Das (a common difficulty among learners). The words used here are listed in the DWDS (Digitales Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache).
You can play alone or against any number of players to see who gets the best score.
DerDieDasSpiel uses ReactJS for the frontend and NodeJS + MongoDB for the backend. Trello was used to organise the development of the web app.
- Create a lobby and get assigned a shareable URL to it.
- Ability to change your name, which gets stored in your browser.
- As a lobby host, you can kick players, decide the words per match and the difficulty level.
- Progress bar in the lobby to see how far into the match your opponents are while you're done.
- Share button to quickly store the link to your clipboard to invite people to your lobby.
This web app is being actively maintained. Bugs will be squashed and new features will be added, which include:
- Mode where you can play random words from the Duden dictionary.
- Improve the frontend visually.
- List the words of the last match with a link directly to their DWDS entry for further study.
