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 ⭐ !

Game Demo

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
  • With Bash 
    curl -fsSL "https://bina.egoist.dev/Lioness100/guess-that-lang" | sh

    Using Bina

  • 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.

Contributing

I'm a beginner at Rust, so if you see any code that can be improved or have any general ideas, please let me know! Feel free to open an issue or a pull request.

  • terminal colors on light background are not good

    terminal colors on light background are not good

    Light gray on white is a little rough. I think there may also be some white-on-white. Need to set the code highlight colors to medium luminance by default and/or provide an argument to indicate light vs dark terminal.

  • Repeating code blocks

    Repeating code blocks

    When playing the game, I often encounter repeated code blocks, especially a lot of Javascript, e.g. a startgame function I get at least once per game, sometimes twice in a row. Is this intended?

    Edit: I did input my GH token

    fix(terminal): missing return caused mismatched type error

    The repository as of 2022-08-14 couldn't be compiled using "cargo build" due to a mismatched type error. Fixed it by adding a missing return statement.

  • Will not compile on Linux

    Will not compile on Linux

    Turns out ansi_term::enable_ansi_support() is available only on Windows. Change the imports in terminal.rs to

    use ansi_term::{
    ANSIGenericStrings,
    Color::{self, Fixed, RGB},
};
#[cfg(windows)]
use ansi_term::enable_ansi_support;

  • dark_light match statement bug

    dark_light match statement bug

    When running on some machines, this error is shown when running:

    thread 'main' panicked at 'no entry found for key', /home/desktop/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/guess-that-lang-1.0.3/src/terminal.rs:63:20

    That trace resolves to here which shows that this function isn't returning a valid string. If the get_theme call is replaced by a string literal of either theme, it works.

    // Both of the following work.
themes.themes["Monokai Extended"].clone(),
themes.themes["Monokai Extended Light"].clone(),

    The get_theme function is copied from the example in dark-light's README. This error also doesn't appear on my personal machine, so I can't quite debug it.

    https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/28606 - This might be related.

  • Save custom initial delay

    Save custom initial delay

    Basically the title. Whenever the user requests a custom delay using the --wait flag, this delay gets saved in the config, just like the theme and the GH token. Also a few minor style suggestions.

  • Always map keys to the same language

    Always map keys to the same language

    If you would always map keys to the same language it would remove the extra step of looking down on the options and you could focus on the code. Great game btw :)
