And enjoy! +Compiled binaries are provided in the releases section for Windows and Unix systems. For Windows, the exe can run as-is. For MacOS/Linux, download the pydle file, adn in a terminal window run the command ```chmod +x /path/pydle ```, then ```pydle``` while still in the directory. + +## Future +I don't anticipate spending a huge amount of time on this in the near future, but small things I'd like to throw in are: +- Seed-based, so the word is the same when run on a given day - just like the real thing! +- Make the output slightly prettier, or as pretty as it can be in a terminal. No plans of making a full GUI version just yet! + +## License +Published under GPL, so go nuts! Contributions and forks of any stripe welcome :)
