With all the fuss over the Wordle game, I thought it would be a fun afternoon project to throw together a version for pico-8.

The word dictionary is quite small and I didn't get a chance to add in any sfx. However, it's fun to play and was a good exercise to keep learning new things.

Updates:

Added instructions screen
Added some simple sfx
Added hard mode (accessed through pause menu)
Added light mode
Added animations
- Invalid guess
- Revealing clues
Improve instructions
Save hard mode / light mode
Increased dictionary size (thanks to zep's work here)
Added guess statistics

Future ideas:

Animations
- Winning
Statistic reset confirmation
Improve sfx

First milestone for a battleship game. Everything is functioning, but lots left to do.

Currently there's still no AI, sound, artwork... though I've already learned a lot with this project. I figured out how to set up an external editor, do some basic logging, and how pallet changing works.

Next up is the AI, which is definitely an area I'm more comfortable with, though I'm sure I'll find some challenges anyways!

Updates:

Added a simple AI

Tried out the music editor and using the map with this one. I'm pretty happy with most everything but the movement. Lots more still to learn!

Try #2 trying out some new tools. I saw some posts about better ways to create outlines, so I should probably check those out instead of my current technique. Either way, I'm happy with how this came out for now.

Just a quick test to see how things work! I don't know what this game is called; I'm sure I've seen it on some old flash game sites.

My collision detection is terrible and the controls aren't great, but it's served its purpose. I'll have to try something different next!
