v2.0.0

🖨️ Prettier Printing

With this release, I have made use of the Python curses module for better command line printing. This will allow for better command line printing. It also cleans up the code substantially, which previously used hacky print statements to be able to erase output text.

To run, use python3 wordle.py

Note

Unfortunately, Windows OS does not support the curses module, so if you are using a Windows machine, please continue to use v1.1.0 (after slightly modifying the code as specified in the release notes).

v1.1.0

Erase Mode Functionality

With this release, the terminal output will now update in place. All the relevant information will still be available at a glance, but the output will be much less verbose. You can see an example play-through of this functionality in the README. If you wish to preserve all output to the terminal, you can disable this functionality by including the command line argument -e or -eraseModeOff.

Warning

There is a bug in this release. In the play_with_erase_mode function, the answer is manually set to SCUBA. This was for demo purposes, and I forgot to remove it. Remove this line (line 183 in wordle.py), and you should be good to go.
