Wordle

This is a clone of Wordle using OPENRNDR.

Game Instructions

Play is similar to the original Wordle, except:

• You can exit the game by pressing the escape key.
• Once the game ends, you can start a new one by pressing any key besides escape.

Build instructions

Gradle tasks

• run runs the game
• jar creates an executable platform-specific jar file with all dependencies
• zipDistribution creates a zip file containing the application jar and the data folder
• jpackageZip creates a zip with a stand-alone executable for the current platform (works with Java 14 only)

Cross builds

To create runnable jars for a platform different from the platform you use to build one uses ./gradlew jar --PtargetPlatform=<platform>. The supported platforms are windows, macos, linux-x64 and linux-arm64.

Credits

This is based on the OPENRNDR template project and relies on orx-gui.

I received help from kind and generous people on the OPENRNDR Slack server, especially aBe.
