## What it is
isowords is the complete open-source code for an iOS word search game played on a vanishing 3D cube, built in SwiftUI with the Composable Architecture and a Swift server. It serves both as a shipped App Store game and a reference implementation of large-scale Composable Architecture app design.

## Use cases
- play a word search game on a vanishing cube
- study how to build a large SwiftUI app with the Composable Architecture
- learn how to structure reducers and dependencies in a real production app
- see how to build a Swift server for a mobile game
- explore multiplayer game architecture in Swift
- find examples of testing patterns in Composable Architecture apps

## When to choose
- you want a real-world, complex example of SwiftUI + Composable Architecture
- you are learning functional-style app architecture in Swift
- you want to study how a full iOS game and its Swift server are structured
- you want to play or fork a polished open-source word game

## When to avoid
- you need a reusable game engine or library rather than a complete app
- you target platforms other than iOS
- you want a simple starter template instead of a large production codebase
- you need a permissively licensed codebase to copy directly, since the license is non-standard
