- Install PyInstaller
- Download the Verble repository as a ZIP file to your local machine, extract it to a folder, and navigate to that folder in your terminal.
- In your terminal, run the following command(Replace "path/to" with the actual path to the Verble repository):
pyinstaller --name "Verble" --add-data "path/to/Verble/words;words" --onefile --clean path/to/Verble/src/main.py --icon=path/to/Verble/icon.ico
- The executable will be created in the
<folder>/dist
folder - Run the executable to play the game
- Clone the repo and install Miniconda
- In your terminal, run the command
conda create --name <env> --file requirements.txt
- Activate the environment with
conda activate <env>
- Run the game with
python src/main.py
- You have six attempts to guess a five-letter verb which may have multiple instances of the same letter
- After every guess, each letter is marked as either green, yellow or red
- Green : letter is correct and in the correct position
- Yellow : letter is in the answer but not in the right position
- Red : letter is not in the answer at all
- The "complete" list of verbs is derived from the website of Ashley Bovan
- The "most frequent" list of verbs is derived from Google's N-gram corpus.
