wordleSMS VS Phaser

OK, so to be fair, this Wordle! app is older than Josh Wardle's game. It used to be a completely different game like Wordscapes, and then when Josh Wardle's Wordle took off, hundreds of thousands of people downloaded Wordle! by mistake. Wordle!'s developer cashed in on this and sold his game to AppLovin, which turned the older Wordle! into a Wordle knock-off. The entire mobile app economy is flooded with knock-offs to the point where it's hard to find originals. Heck, Wordle itself is a Lingo knock-off. However, Josh Wardle created Wordle and named it after himself, then sold it to the New York Times. NYT Wordle is the one and only official Wordle, and for now, it doesn't have any ads or any mobile apps.

Original game: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

yup. it's /u/powerlanguage who organized most of /r/thebutton. The original wordle URL was also https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

GOOGLE, you've known me for years, when I type in P and O and then Enter you know damn well i'm not trying to go to https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

I think I found the source of the issue! I looked at this post and checked on how I opened wordle every day on my phone. I realized, that I always type wordle in the search bar and click on the first suggestion Safari gives me. I think the issue is, that Safari does not suggest the plain wordle URL (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) but the one, that was generated when NY Times transferred the game from the original domain (https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/) to theirs. It looks something like this and was generated to be able to transfer the stats from the old page to the new NY Times page:

omg where have you been

Just use an actual game framework https://phaser.io/

Phaser (MIT/JS) https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser

I used the Phaser framework to build the game! I didn't pick it for any particular reason, I just saw that they were offering prizes at the end of the game jam so I thought it'd be a good choice. In hindsight, once again, I should have read the fine print and realized that Phaser is very large for this kind of game jam, but MOVING ON.

Phaser: I've actually used this engine before! It's pretty decent if you're just making small browser games and really easy to use. I taught a programming class to kids aged 10-15 and we used this for a couple of projects. They had no problem making some decent games with it. MIT Licensed and would definitely recommend giving it a go if you want to make something that has the same sort of style as older browser flash games we all used to play on Miniclip and other similar sites.

https://phaser.io/ is a great framework to get started with

I love playing video games, especially console and mobile games. I learned about Phaser (an open source framework for building games with JavaScript) last year and have wanted to try out game development using the skills I already have as a web developer.
