#  Glimmer Wordle 1.1.6

## Play Wordle Endlessly with No Limit!

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/glimmer_wordle.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/glimmer_wordle)

[Wordle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordle) word game desktop GUI app written [test-first](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/wordle/blob/master/spec/app/model/five_letter_word_spec.rb) using [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) (JRuby Desktop Development GUI Framework) as inspiration by [Kevin Newton's blog post](https://kddnewton.com/2022/01/29/solving-wordle-in-ruby.html).

(Since the desktop version can leverage a real keyboard, there is no need to display the alphabets following the Qwerty layout, so they are displayed alphabetically to enable a more user-friendly experience, but the Qwerty layout is available as an [option](#options) if desired.)

### Install Ruby Gem

If you are a software engineer and would rather install this game as a Ruby gem, please follow these instructions.

First, make sure you have all the [prerequisites of Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt#pre-requisites) setup on your machine like Java and JRuby.

Run:

```

gem install glimmer_wordle

```

Afterwards, run:

```

glimmer_wordle

```

## Options

The game menu bar has these View menu options:

1- **View -> Alphabet Layout -> Alphabetical**: Displays alphabets alphabetically

![Wordle Screenshot Alphabetical](screenshots/glimmer-wordle.png)

2- **View -> Alphabet Layout -> Qwerty**: Displays alphabets with the Qwerty keyboard layout

Also, the game supports Dark Mode, and will adopt a Dark Mode theme automatically if you start it with your System Settings having Dark Mode.

## Process

[Glimmer Process](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer/blob/master/PROCESS.md)

## Contributing

-   Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been

    implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.

-   Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't

    requested it and/or contributed it.

-   Fork the project.

-   Start a feature/bugfix branch.

-   Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.

-   Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it

    in a future version unintentionally.

-   Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If

    you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that

    is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick

    around it.
