Wordle++

Wordle++ is a terminal-based word guessing game written in C++, based on the popular game Wordle published by The New York Times. The game runs entirely in the command line through a CMake build, requiring no external setup other than the build process. It uses FTXUI for the interface, giving a clean and responsive terminal UI, with color-coded gameplay board and real-time keyboard input. Word data is managed through JSON files using nlohmann/json, with a separate word bank for each game mode.

This game offers four modes, 3, 5 and 6 letter word modes and a Daily Mode. There is a signup system where players can sign up for an account and their progress is tracked on a leaderboard keeping track of wins and streaks. Players can edit each word bank directly through the JSON files, but the game also has a built-in Admin Mode for managing the game without touching any files. Players can log in the admin account with (username: admin, password: admin123) where they will have access to two special panels that can add or remove words from any word bank and delete player accounts.

Every line of code was written solo over the course of a month. Feature ideas and direction were developed collaboratively as a team.
