c5k-rustle

The one-word Wordle clone mob-programmed in Rust that you always wanted

Getting started

• Make sure you have Rust installed - https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
• Clone this repo
• Run cargo build, and don't pay any attention to the warnings just yet
• Run ./target/debug/c5k-rustle --guess STERN and observe the Wordle-esque output

Goals of the challenge!

• Apply the real Wordle rules to the guess input that we harvest from the command line
• Use the hardcoded solution for now (it's "proxy", in case you were wondering)
• Right letter in the right place -> 🟩
• Right letter in the wrong place -> 🟨
• Wrong letter -> ⬛️
• Right letter, duplicated in the guess, but not the solution -> ⬛️
• (eg. solution is SMELL, guess is HISSY, only the first S gets a yellow square, second gets black)
• Guesses should be UPPERCASED in the output, just like in the real Wordle

Mob programming rules

• Everyone clones the repo
• The first person to drive does so until a piece of functionality is implemented
• At that point, commit & push
• The next driver takes over, pulls the repo, and the fun continues
