Topoletras

Videogame for mobile devices has been developed, in which the main purpose

is to create words by touching the letters that are shown on the screen. Because it is an

educational videogame, the words created will have to pass a grammatical criteria to be valid,

aiming to reinforce the player’s spanish language knowledge.

Criteria validation of the words introduced is carried out with a web service provided by the

members of Text & Information Processing (TIP), from the Instituto Universitario de Análisis y

Aplicaciones Textuales (IATEXT) of the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC).

The videogame has three different game modes, and also extra features has been added with

the purpose of adding new mechanics and more diversity, such as power ups, achievements or

rankings.
