As I'm about to start my freshman year of college in just over a month now, I decided that I want to polish up my CS skills I've learned from high school. I decided to start Codecademy's "Computer Science Career Path" which had me make a OOP terminal based game. Lucky for me, I had done this as a project my sophomore year in a CS class. The course told me to save the project to GitHub and then write a blog post for it, so why not?
My game is called Octodle because it's an eight-letter word game instead of the standard 5. It updates every day just like the original so have fun coming back and playing it every day if you want to!
