Welcome

Our project is an implementation of the hit game Wordle using C++ and FLTK. It features full gameplay matching the original version, even with the same statistics layout. Additionally, we have color settings and basic account information that utilizes data persistence with a csv file that saves all progress.

Accounts

1. Create an account on the main menu by pressing the "New" button and entering a username
2. Existing accounts can be selected by using the "User" drop down
3. Color options can be set using the "Color" drop down
4. Set whether you wish to play with only words with unique letters or not by toggling the "Use only unique letters" check box

Playing Wordle

1. Select your account from the main menu
2. Press the "Select" button
3. Guess the hidden, five-letter word by:
   • Typing on your physical keyboard
   • Pressing the keys on the on-screen keyboard
4. Make guesses by pressing the enter key
   • Guesses must be 5 letters long
   • Guesses must be actual words, as listed in dictionary.txt
5. Letters on the top and the on the keyboard will change colors depending on the guess result:
   • Letters that haven't been used will start light grey
   • Letters that don't exist will turn dark grey
   • Letters that do exist, but are out of place will turn yellow
   • Letters that are in the correct position will turn green
   • Color settings can be changed in the main menu
   • Letters will show the best result for all guesses
6. The game will end once the word is guessed, or six incorrect guesses are made.
   • The correct answer will be displayed above the puzzle once the game ends

Statistics

Statistics are tracked per account and will be displayed at the end of every game. Statistics include:

• Number of games played
• Percent of games won
• Current win streak
• Max win streak
• The distribution of wins by number of guesses made
