To use app, download wordle.jar and then open a terminal in the directory you saved the file to and run the following command. Requires Java 17.0.4 installed to run.
java -jar wordle.jar
If you would like to build the project yourself see the instructions at the end of this README.
- Recreate a simplified version of the game Wordle to be played in a Java console application
- The game should be able to randomly select a 5-letter word from the provided word list
- The user will be able to enter a guess word that is also 5 characters long
- For each letter, the application will tell the user if that letter is correct, right letter in the wrong position, or wrong letter
- After the user guesses 6 times incorrectly, the game is over and the user loses
- If the user guesses the word correctly, the game is over and the user wins
- In addition you must implement one of the following extensions, or an extension of your own design as approved by a coach
- Read the word list directly from the file when the application starts
- Create a history file that keeps track of user wins/losses and how many letters they guessed it in
- When the game finishes and the secret word is shown, also display the dictionary definition for that word
- Hint: Use a free API (https://dictionaryapi.dev/)
- Generate an output of the word/guesses and copy it to the user's clipboard so they can share it on socials
- Bonus: Use emojis
Welcome to the VS Code Java world. Here is a guideline to help you get started to write Java code in Visual Studio Code.
The workspace contains two folders by default, where:
src: the folder to maintain sourceslib: the folder to maintain dependencies
Meanwhile, the compiled output files will be generated in the bin folder by default.
If you want to customize the folder structure, open
.vscode/settings.jsonand update the related settings there.
The JAVA PROJECTS view allows you to manage your dependencies. More details can be found here.
