Guess That Lang!
CLI game to see how fast you can guess the language of a code block!
If you like the game, please consider giving a ⭐!
Code is retrieved from either random repos or random gists on GitHub using any of the top 24* most popular languages from the Stack Overflow 2022 Developer Survey. *VBA is replaced with Dockerfile
The code is then processed in a number of ways to make the experience more enjoyable.
Installation
Using Prebuilt Binaries
-
Manual Installation
Prebuilt binaries are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS and can be found attached to the latest release.
Building From Source
⚠️ Rust 1.63.0 or higher is required to build. Rust can be updated with
rustup update.
Install Rust and then run:
cargo install guess-that-lang
Usage
It's strongly recommended to provide a Github personal access token. This will allow the game to make more Github requests before getting ratelimited. Click here to make one (no scopes are required).
⚠️ Resizing the terminal window while playing will cause the game to go a bit wonky.
# Tokens will be stored in a config file so you only need to input them once.
guess-that-lang --token "XXX" # or -t
# Get code from gists rather than repos.
# Repos generally provide better code quality, but gists require less API calls.
guess-that-lang --provider gists # or -p
# Wait 5 seconds after showing the options before starting to reveal code. (Default: 1500)
guess-that-lang --wait 5000 # or -w
# Reveal lines in random order instead of top to bottom. (Default: false)
guess-that-lang --shuffle # or -s
# Theme overrides will be stored in a config file so you only need to input them once.
guess-that-lang --theme dark
guess-that-lang --theme light
Acknowledgements
This game takes heavy inspiration from both guessthiscode and stripcode.
