Drawing inspiration from NY Times popular game wordle nywordle, this Wordle clone is a word-based guessing game developed using the Pygame library, featuring five interactive windows: rules, menu, options, game board, and result. The game lets users select difficulty levels, enter guesses, and receive feedback on their guesses through colored indicators. The game includes easy, medium, and hard difficulty levels with word sets for each.
The aim of this project is to create a Wordle clone using the Pygame library that consists of five windows:
- Rules – Displays the game instructions.
- Menu – Allows the user to play a new game or select the difficulty level.
- Options – Lets the user choose a difficulty level.
- Game Board – Where users can enter guesses.
- Result – Displays the game result (win or lose).
This game uses Pygame's modules like display, mouse, draw, font, image, and event, along with the sleep function from the time module.
