Schizandra - the QB64 English wordlist-walker
#9
Glad to share revision 3 of Schizandra and Schizandrafield.

http://www.sanmayce.com/Schizandra/
http://www.sanmayce.com/Schizandra/Schizandra_r3.7z

Q: What is this duo all about? 
A: In short, exploring the appearance(s) of a given word across 57 mainstay English wordlists, ergonomically!

Highlights:
- Allowing quick word queries into biggest English wordlist 'Schizandrafield' - 800+ million unique words strong;
- The simplistic GUI works on Windows and Linux, on old laptops with only HD i.e. 1366x768;
- Just make a shortcut/link to the executable, either 'Schizandra_r3.elf' or 'Schizandra_r3.exe';
- The identical interface is minimalistic (and oldschool) - easy on the eyes - using internal/built-in 16x32 font, pastel/sepia/grayscale colors, vintage sounds;
- Simulating a typewriter soundage, for better feedback;
- The virtual keyboard is huge, hitting the 'keys' is EZ - released mode only i.e. no incidental repeats;
- Along with quick spellcheck suggestions (left and right word to the missing word), the 67+ thousand Random House Webster transcriptions are shown while typing;
- Queries are semi-powerful - in addition to exact searches, via wildcards and fuzzy (Longest-Common-Sub-String and Longest-Common-Sub-Sequence) too;
- 100% FREE, full sourcecode included, licenseless;
- This revision serves as an initial platform/platzdarm/launchpad for future text-related tools;
- Written in C & QB64 by machinely yours Sanmayce, suggesting at sanmayce@yahoo.com new/refined functionalities you may.

Enfun!

Inhere we have one good starting point for writing simple GUI tools, the interface is maximally easy on the eyes, targeting oldest laptops with their 1366x768 mode.

I made the mouse support for the VirtualLetterboard, please share whether the typing on touchscreens is good:

   

Also wrote the main combos for GamePad support but only implemented the starting button, the rest to be done, think entering text via buttons and sticks will be a nice addition.
