# CORDLE - The C90 Version of Wordle
|
|
|
|
A C90 implementation of the famous word game Wordle. I originally wrote this
|
|
in Python, and decided to rewrite it in C90, to remediate myself, and to have
|
|
a project I could work with in my old copy of DOS TurboC. Feel free to do
|
|
whatever you like with it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Unix/Linux/macOS
|
|
- C90 compliant compiler (gcc recommended)
|
|
- ncurses library
|
|
- GNU Make
|
|
|
|
### DOS
|
|
- DJGPP or Borland C compiler
|
|
- PDCurses library
|
|
- GNU Make (for DJGPP)
|
|
|
|
See [DOS_BUILD.md](DOS_BUILD.md) for detailed DOS build instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
### Using Make (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
- Compile all source files with C90 compliance flags
|
|
- Create the `cordle` executable in `build/`
|
|
- Copy wordlists to `build/wordlists/`
|
|
|
|
### Alternative: Using build.sh
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./build.sh
|
|
Building application.
|
|
Compile successful. Copying wordlists...
|
|
Build completed.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Other Make Targets
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make help # Show all available targets
|
|
$ make clean # Remove build artifacts
|
|
$ make rebuild # Clean and rebuild from scratch
|
|
$ make install # Install system-wide to /usr/local
|
|
$ make uninstall # Remove installed files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
### System-wide Installation (Unix/Linux/macOS)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs:
|
|
- Binary to `/usr/local/bin/cordle`
|
|
- Wordlists to `/usr/local/share/cordle/wordlists/`
|
|
|
|
The game will automatically find wordlists in:
|
|
1. `wordlists/` (relative to current directory)
|
|
2. `/usr/local/share/cordle/wordlists/`
|
|
3. `$HOME/.local/share/cordle/wordlists/`
|
|
4. Custom path via `--wordlist` option
|
|
|
|
### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
Copy the binary and wordlists to your preferred location:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cp build/cordle ~/bin/
|
|
$ cp -R wordlists ~/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### DOS Installation
|
|
|
|
* Insure that the TC\BIN, TC\INCLUDE, and TC\LIB directories are in your defined in your DOS environment.
|
|
* Insure that the PDCurses library is built, and added to your TC\LIB directory.
|
|
|
|
1. Build the executable:
|
|
```dosbatch
|
|
cd cordle\src
|
|
tcc -mh -I..\include -ecordle.exe main.c game.c ui.c words.c pdcurses.lib
|
|
```
|
|
2. Copy the `CORDLE.EXE` executable to C:\CORDLE or D:\CORDLE.
|
|
3. Copy the words directory to either C:\CORDLE or D:\CORDLE.
|
|
4. Run `CORDLE.EXE` from the CORDLE directory.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cordle --help
