main.tsx
Clone of @maxm/staticChess but for Wordle. Every letter is a link. The game state is stored in the URL bar.
You could do silly things like playing collaborative Wordle with your friends by trading links back and forth. Or undo any mistakes by clicking the back button. I also make it easy to generate a new game from any of your current game's guesses – to send to a friend.
They key to these static games like this one and @maxm/staticChess is to figure out:
- a representation for your game state (the
Gametype) - how to encode/decode your game state into the URL (base64-encoding JSON)
- how to render your game state into HTML (looping over guesses and making divs)
- placing the links into your HTML in the right spots (on my on-screen keyboard)
- prettify with CSS (for guesses and the keyboard)
