This is a simple game where you have to guess the English word in a limited amount of attempts. Colours are used to show which letters are in the correct position, which are in the word but in a different position, and which ones aren't in the word at all.
This is written in the Nim programming language so you'll to install that first.
I've written a simple build script to build the app. You can compile it with:
nim c -r build.nim
This involves running Nimble and/or the Nim compiler to build relevant files, as well as copying/moving files.
If you have problems with the -d:lto (Link Time Optimisation) flag in the build script, you might need to use another syntax talking about passL and passC. Search the Nim forums (I think it's a clang thing; the syntax I used works with GCC). Alternatively, you can just remove it - the final executable will be a little larger/slower but it won't matter.
If you want to compile the project manually, it has dependencies on Treeform's great libraries that you'll need to install first.
The list of words used in this project ("words.txt") is generated from a repo:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlesreid1/five-letter-words/master/sgb-words.txt
I wrote a tool to extract the five letter words and shuffle them - see download_words.nim. This gets called by the build script if necessary.
I'd suggest some manual curation of the words if you can be bothered as there are some uncommon ones that would be hard to guess.
The bg.png and font in the data dir are just copied verbatim from one of Boxy's example. :)
