Wordle but it's 3D

The first guess
One more guess left!

Inspiration

Our team knew that we wanted to create a game from scratch. We realized that a game we all enjoy playing is Wordle, a word guessing game that tests your wit which broken down to its construct, is simple yet has very high potential.

What it does

In our 3D rendition of Wordle, the same rules apply as in regular 2D Wordle. You have six tries to type in and guess the secret five letter word. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word. The letter will turn green if it is the right letter in the right position. The letter will turn yellow if it is a correct letter in the word but in the wrong position.

How we built it

We first broke the game logic down into Python, the language we are most familiar with, and ran simple versions of our Wordle game in the terminal of our IDE's. Then we converted our game logic to Unity, and built a 3D model of our playing board using C#.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges were mainly situated from the Unity development, something we were only slightly familiar with.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of conquering the learning curve of Unity game development. Our team members have all only learned Python at UCI, and we are proud of using our C# skills to build a cohesive project.

What we learned

We learned to not give up, even if it is 3AM in the morning.

What's next for Wordle but it's 3D

What's next? Wordle but it's 4D. Just kidding. The game could be polished if the guess words were somehow checked to see if they were real words or not. We would probably need an API for this. Do you eagerly anticipate challenging yourself by solving the daily Wordle? Do you strive to obtain a new perspective of the words you are solving for? Look no further, because Wordle is here in 3D.
