# Guess That Lang!
[](https://github.com/Lioness100/guess-that-lang/discussions/6)
CLI game to see how fast you can guess the language of a code block!
_If you like
the game, please consider giving a ⭐!_
Code is retrieved from either random repos or random gists on GitHub
using any of the top 24* most popular languages from the [Stack Overflow 2022
Developer
Survey](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technologies-language).
*VBA is replaced with Dockerfile
The code is then processed in a number of ways to make the
experience more enjoyable.
## Installation
Using Prebuilt Binaries
-
With Bash
```sh
curl -fsSL "https://bina.egoist.dev/Lioness100/guess-that-lang" | sh
```
> Using [Bina](https://bina.egoist.dev/)
-
Manual Installation
Prebuilt binaries are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS and can be found
attached to the [latest release](https://github.com/Lioness100/guess-that-lang/releases/latest).
Building From Source
> ⚠️ Rust 1.63.0 or higher is required to build. Rust can be updated with `rustup update`.
Install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) and then run:
```sh
cargo install guess-that-lang
```
## Usage
It's strongly recommended to provide a [Github personal access token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token). This will
allow the game to make more Github requests before getting ratelimited. [Click
here to make
one](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=Guess%20That%20Lang) (no
scopes are required).
> ⚠️ Resizing the terminal window while playing will cause the game to go a bit
> wonky.
```sh
# Tokens will be stored in a config file so you only need to input them once.
guess-that-lang --token "XXX" # or -t
# Get code from gists rather than repos.
# Repos generally provide better code quality, but gists require less API calls.
guess-that-lang --provider gists # or -p
# Wait 5 seconds after showing the options before starting to reveal code. (Default: 1500)
guess-that-lang --wait 5000 # or -w
# Reveal lines in random order instead of top to bottom. (Default: false)
guess-that-lang --shuffle # or -s
# Theme overrides will be stored in a config file so you only need to input them once.
guess-that-lang --theme dark
guess-that-lang --theme light
```
