Playing Wordle on Golem Cloud

I'm assuming you have set up Rust's toolchain and installed cargo-component. If not, please refer to Golem Cloud documentation for instructions.

With that done, let's start by building our Wasm binary with the following command:

cargo component build --release -p wasm

Then upload the Wasm binary and run it on Golem Cloud (skip to step 6 if you have already set up Golem CLI):

1. Download the latest version of Golem CLI by signing up for the Developer Preview.
2. Install Golem CLI by running cargo install golem-cli.
3. Run golem-cli account get to go through the authorization process if you haven't done so.
4. cd to our project directory.
5. Run the following command to upload the binary.

golem-cli template add --template-name wordle target/wasm32-wasi/release/wasm.wasm

6. Then run this command to create a worker for our app.

golem-cli worker add --worker-name wordle-wrkr-1 --template-name wordle

7. Define a shell alias to invoke the instance. For example:

alias wordle='golem-cli worker invoke-and-await --worker-name wordle-wrkr-1 --template-name wordle --function $*'

8. Now let's play! 🎉

• Run the new-game command to start a new game. The game will tell us the number of letters for the word we'll be guessing.

wordle golem:wordle/api/new-game --parameters '[]'

• Run the continue-game command to make our first guess. And repeat the same command if we don't get lucky to win.

wordle golem:wordle/api/continue-game --parameters '["WORDLE_IS_FUN"]'

• If the game is too hard, take some breaks.😅 Upon resuming, if we don't remember where the game is at, we can always run the game-status command to remind ourselves of the number of letters for the word and how we did with our past guesses.

wordle golem:wordle/api/game-status --parameters '[]'
