Project Introduction:

Description:

A version of the fun & popular game Wordle in Rust.

Goals & Objectives:

Opportunity to incorporate advanced Rust concepts like borrowing, ownership, & structs into implementation.
Recreate the fun & popular game of Wordle in Rust, where there are 6 tries to guess a 5 letter word.

Why we chose to work on this project:

Overall, it'd provide extra programming experience in the Rust programming language & would make for a fun & interesting final project to end the semester with.

System Overview:

Instructions:

1. Guess a 5 letter word.
   
2. Each letter is marked a color after every guess.
   
   • Green: The letter is in the answer & in the correct position.
     
   • Yellow: The letter is in the answer but not in the correct position.
     
   • Grey: The letter isn't in the answer at all.
     
3. You lose if you fail to guess the word in 6 tries.
   

Possible Challenges:

Originally were planning to provide a website UI implementation utilizing CSS & HTML, but opted for a terminal-based output instead.
Working with CSS, HTML, & JavaScript to create a website hosted UI, along with implementing Wordle in Rust would be much more difficult considering the scope of the project & group member’s experience with web development.
