Apple 1 "Worple"

A Wordle-style puzzle game for the Apple 1. Features over 850 words, but small enough to run on systems with as little as 4K of RAM.

Files in the Repo:

worple.asm
- The 6502 assembly language source code
- I used dasm to assemble this, but other 6502 assemblers should work without too much tweaking
worple.bin
- Assembled binary file
- The first two bytes in the file are the (little-endian) origin address of the code: $0300
worple.js
- Javascript "tape file" format, compatible with Will Scullin's Apple 1js emulator
- You can use this with a local copy of the emulator by putting the file in the /tapes directory and adding a reference to it in apple1.htm
worple.txt
- Typed version of program in "Woz Monitor" hex format
- Many emulators will let you copy/paste or otherwise load this in
- You can also send this over to a real Apple 1 (or replica/clone) via serial connection
words.txt
- Text file of words used by the game
words_0.bin and words_1.bin
- Compressed binary versions of the word list, split into two parts (A-P and Q-Z)
packer.py
- Python utility that creates the compressed binary word files

Edit words.txt as you see fit. (If your list exceeds 866 words, more than 4K of RAM will be required.)
Run packer.py to shuffle the word list and rebuild the two binary word files
Reassemble worple.asm to build a new executable binary with the new words in it
