Show HN: Pordle, Wordle for Python packages, implemented in a single Python file (aptx314.pyweb.io)
4 points by helixc 1580 days ago
We're Python developers who also like playing Wordle. So we created Pordle [1]. It's like Wordle, but letting you guess Python package names instead of English words. Every day, Pordle picks up a new package. At the end of a game, it shows the package name of the day, along with a brief intro and links to more resources. We hope to help people learn Python, one package a day. Here [2] is a video demo on how it works.

The entire game is implemented in a single Py file, including backend and UI, with ~150 lines of code. A beginner-friendly version of the source code can be found here[3].

Pordle does not copy exactly Wordle's features. E.g., it does not support hardware keyboard, and automatic submits a guess upon completing a line. Please give it a try and let's know how your guessing goes.
