Native SwiftUI idiom chain with 580 idioms, definitions, single player plus local two-player, ink wash theme, full bilingual, zero permissions.
Word Chain Master is a precision-engineered Chinese idiom chain game built on three principles: zero permissions, full offline operation, and accessible bilingual design.
ARCHITECTURE
- Native SwiftUI throughout, strict MVVM layering (Models / Services / ViewModels / Views)
- Idiom library loaded from Resources/idioms.json (580 entries) at launch
- Local UserDefaults persistence only, no Documents directory writes
- iPhone portrait only, iOS 15.0 minimum, compatible with iOS 15 NavigationView patterns
GAME MODES
- Single Player Progressive: difficulty tiers built into the idiom selection algorithm
- Local Two-Player Pass and Play: alternating turns on one device, no network
- Classic chain validation: strict last-to-first character matching
IDIOM DATABASE
- 580 curated high-frequency four-character idioms
- Each entry includes Chinese characters, pinyin, and definition
- JSON-based structure supports zero-code content expansion to 3000 plus entries
- Common idioms receive detailed definitions, others show curated dictionary entries
VISUAL THEME
- Soothing ink wash: deep warm background, brush-stroke typography, watercolor accents
- Minimalist layout designed for calm focus on character recognition
- No countdown timers, no intrusive animations, no notification pressure
INTERNATIONALIZATION
- Bilingual: English and Simplified Chinese
- Runtime switchable via Settings, persisted with UserDefaults app.language
PRIVACY AND COMPLIANCE
- No network entitlements, no third-party SDKs

- All data stays on device
Built for learners and wordplay enthusiasts who demand transparency, control, and a beautiful experience.
