DOSWord

Wordle clone for DOS, written in C using Allegro 4.2. Build system and "engine" is based on another game of mine (Endless Attack REMIX), so chalk any weird remnants up to that.

System Requirements

486 CPU (with or without FPU; FPU-less users should run DOSWORDE.EXE) or better, VGA mode 13h-compatible display adapter, MS-DOS 5? or later (or compatible)

Can also run under Windows 3.x and 9x!

Building

You'll need either DJGPP on DOS, or a cross-compiler. I recommend the latter, specifically GCC 9.3.0 from here.

You'll also need Allegro 4.2.3, which you can get complete with DJGPP here.

Your cross-compiler should reside in TOOLS/djgpp, as well as Allegro's include and lib folders in TOOLS/allegro. See the Makefile for specifics.

make TARGET=DOS

Use DOS-DEBUG instead to produce an executable with support for debugging via gdb, or DOS-NOFPU to produce an executable that will run without an FPU.
