Made in conjunction with fellow groupmates Ayrton Dave Bautista and Josh Aleczi Merlin, A.Y. 2018. A Wordle-esque game demo, serving as our 1st machine project for our 1st Semester, made in around 1 month. My main role in this task was to create the logic for the GUI, connecting both the assets and interfacing elements made by my teammates.
The app was developed through Python, making use of PyGame for its GUI. Without the GUI, it runs with no dependencies. The word processing and scoring is based on a Scrabble dictionary and its letter-point system, with the former saved as a static text file and the latter hardcoded in the engine component.
Install the necessary dependencies in requirements.txt. Afterwards, the app can be opened through main.py via the standard python run command, e.g. py main.py. Opening it through the command-line interface (CLI) allows the user to choose between running the program on either the GUI or terminal itself.
A simple executable made with PyInstaller is also available.
After choosing to use either the GUI or pure CLI, the player is prompted to select their chosen mode and difficulty level.
Game Modes
* Anagram - Find all the words that use all the letters!
* Combine - Unscramble every word you can out of the given letters!
Difficulties (CLI is locked to ZEN)
* Zen - Take it easy, but watch your lives...
* Challenge - Beat the clock! You have 99 seconds!
* Hell - Can you handle both?
In the game proper, the app follows the expected key-controls, such as:
<alphanumeric>- inserts letters and numbers into the text fieldBACKSPACE- deletes the last character in the text fieldENTER- submits the current word in the text field
ESCKey or ButtonMain Menu: exits the game Game Menu: pauses the game and opens the sub-menu
c_help- displays available commandsc_word- prints out the scrambled lettersc_quit- prompts user to quit the program
