Wordle clone written in C.
Run make cwordle to build the program. make variables are:
CC: the C compiler (gcc)CFLAGS: the C compiler flags (-Wall)
Call cwordle WORD-LIST to play the game. The word list must be a plaintext
list of five-character words, alphabetically sorted. Use cat and sort
to add words to the list in the right order.
The play field does not take control of the whole terminal screen, instead just the area down of the cursor. The game plays like any other wordle clone: black background for answer-missing letters, yellow for letters in other position, green for letters on the right position.
The matching algorithm is not greedy, meaning the answer "spool" with the guess "ooops" will match like: BLACK, YELLOW, GREEN, BLACK, YELLOW.
Press ENTER to submit a word, it'll do nothing if you have less than five characters. If the word is not in the word list, it'll output:
- NOT (WORD)
in the output field.
Press BACKSPACE to delete a character.
The game may end with either of these two messages:
- OK (WORD) (TRIES)/6
- FAIL (WORD)
You can parse this output to make a statistics file of your own.
