KIMdle

Imagesource: http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/

Last week we already had a Wordle version for the C64 in our program. (By the way: certainly neither the first, nor the only one). This week we go one step further. Or to be more precise, we go one step back.

Our companion on the journey backwards is ClassicHasClass and maybe it is this person here @mpc7500v2 on Twitter - no guarantee.

What's it about? Wordle for the KIM-1! 😵

If you know the hardware, you know what this means. The original was equipped with just a cute 1024 bytes of RAM, not only the game mechanics but especially the dictionary is a serious challenge here.

Therefore, according to the author, KIMdle is more of a "sorta wordle", but that doesn't diminish its success. Details on the implementation and quite a bit of the history can be found in this article.
