# Wordy (Wordle Clone with JavaFX)
Wordy is a recreation of the online game [Wordle](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) using JavaFX. This was my final project for CSCE 314: Programming Languages at Texas A&M University. Since this was a school project, I can't share my source code with you, but you are welcome to download the game and try it out yourself!
## Features
- **Load & Save**: Pick up where you left off after quitting a game in progress.
- **Responsive Virtual Keyboard**: Letters you've guessed will be color coded, and if they are not present in the correct word, the button will be disabled.
- **Statistics Tracking**: Various personal stats, such as your guess distribution and streak, are tracked across all of your playthroughs.
## Requirements
This project requires **JDK 17** or later, which you can find here:
[Download JDK](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/)
Select the version that matches your OS and architecture. I recommend downloading the latest version of JDK. After downloading, follow the instructions
to install it.
## Download
Windows: [wordy-windows.zip](https://github.com/rstacks/wordy/raw/main/wordy-windows.zip)
Linux: [wordy-linux.tar.gz](https://github.com/rstacks/wordy/raw/main/wordy-linux.tar.gz)
## Instructions for Running the Game
- Extract the contents of the zip file or tarball to a known location. For Linux users, run this command from the directory that contains your download:
```
$ tar -xzf wordy-linux.tar.gz
```
- **Make sure that the** wordy-1.0.jar **file is in the same directory as all four text files.**
- On Windows, simply double-click on the jar file to start the game. Linux users should run the following command from the directory of the extracted files (this should also work for Windows users):
```
$ java -jar wordy-1.0.jar
```
## How to Play
- Check out [Wordle](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) to find out how to play the game.
- Guess the correct word by clicking on the keyboard buttons on screen.
- Letters you've guessed that are not in the correct word will be disabled, similar to Wordle's "Hard Mode."
- Start a new game with a new word at any time by clicking the **Reset** button.
