CSE 022 Final Semester Project - Rolling Stone Top Albums Word Search

Concept:

Originally, my idea involved developing a Spotify-themed crossword using the player's data, but as this project is limited to be in C++ only that would be too complicated to work with. (Spotify's API is very web-driven, requiring support with Javascript etc)

During development getting Spotify's data was too annoying, & their top charts are all just recent music (boring pop hits). This led to my decision of going with the Rolling Stone's top albums as it adds more variety to the game.

Main Idea:

• Take in data from Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums List

• Parse into a simple CSV file .csv

• Use C++'s built in rand (cstdlib) functionalities instead of using CSE022's RandomSupport.h

• Add a word bank Game/WordBank

• Add a difficulty | word-counter function

• Two Game Modes | 1. Album & Artist | 2. Album-Only

11/27 UPDATE

all of that up there is junk and doesnt matter, im just gonna do something simple because i dont know how to generate all the rows for words n stuff its too advanced

12/5 UPDATE

the game COULD be better but this is good enough for the project & it adds a bit more than what the original instructions ask for, so we'll see
