Todaydle

Project Overview

Todaydle is an innovative web-based game that puts a historical twist on the popular word-guessing concept. Players are challenged to guess the year of significant historical events that occurred on the current date throughout history.

Game Concept

The game presents players with a daily historical event and challenges them to guess the exact year it occurred. With only 6 attempts available, players must use their historical knowledge and the game's feedback system to narrow down the correct year.

Key Features

• Daily historical events sourced from a reliable API
• Intuitive color-coded feedback system:
  • 🟩 Green: Exact year match
  • 🟨 Light Green: Within 10 years
  • 🟧 Yellow: Within 100 years
  • 🟥 Red: Within 1000 years
• Responsive design for seamless gameplay across devices
• Keyboard support for quick input
• Daily reset with new historical events

Technical Implementation

Built using vanilla JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, Todaydle demonstrates clean, efficient code architecture and modern web development practices. The game integrates with a historical events API to fetch daily content, showcasing my ability to work with external data sources and create engaging user experiences.

Development Challenges

One of the main challenges in developing Todaydle was creating an intuitive feedback system that helps players narrow down their guesses without making the game too easy or too difficult. The color-coded feedback system was carefully designed to provide meaningful hints while maintaining the game's challenge.

Future Enhancements

Planned improvements include:

• User statistics tracking
• Social sharing capabilities
• Historical context for events
• Difficulty levels
