🎲 Wordle – A Python Clone of the Popular Word Game
📍 Personal Project (2022)
🔗 Code Repository: GitHub Repository
In this project, I recreated Wordle, the viral word puzzle game originally created by Josh Wardle, using Python and Pygame. The game supports word lengths of 5, 6, or 7 letters, and follows the original Wordle mechanics, where players have a limited number of attempts to guess the hidden word of the day.
Key features of the project include:
- Dynamic input handling and color-coded feedback for guesses.
- Daily word selection fetched from an online API using the requests library.
- The game was designed to be easily installed and run on any platform with Python 3, and includes a simple CLI-based setup with clear instructions for users.
This project allowed me to apply and improve skills in game development, GUI design, and API integration, as well as refining my ability to work with Python packaging to make the game easy to distribute.
