Quackey is a somewhat simplified but mostly feature-complete version of the Perquackey anagram word-building game. It runs in an xterm, Gnome terminal, or on the console. The entire game is contained in an 11kb Bash shell script, and a big chunk of that is instruction text and comments. It was written as a "proof-of-concept," but the game is quite playable (and fun) even in its preliminary release form. It requires the author's "yawl" word list package or a similar word list installed in /usr/share/dict. Playing Quackey is good practice for Scrabble and similar anagramming games.
