What is that?

Westle is a Heardle clone, but for Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) songs.

How to play

1. Listen to the intro, then find the correct Ye song in the list.
2. Skipped or incorrect attempts unlock more of the intro
3. Answer in as few tries as possible and share your score!

You have 6 tries.

How to set up

Just upload the folder somewhere like Netlify or host it yourself. Make sure that index.html is the root of the site.

Adding songs

The songs.json file contains an object with the following structure:

{
  "songs": [
    {
      "name": "Song title",
      "artist": "Song artist",
      "videoId": "Youtube video id",
      "album": "Song album",
      "offsetMs": "Song offset in milliseconds"
    }
  ]
}

• videoId is the id of the song on Youtube (e.g. dQw4w9WgXcQ in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ (Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up)).
• offsetMs is an amount of milliseconds to skip before the song starts.

Config

This is what the default config.json file looks like:

{
  "epoch": {
    "year": 2022,
    "month": 4,
    "day": 2
  },
  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
  "randomSong": false,
  "maxTries": 6,
  "seed": "kanye west",
  "siteUrl": "https://westle.netlify.app"
}

• epoch is the date of the first game day.
• timezone is the timezone where, at midnight, a new game day starts.
• randomSong is whether to play a random song on each game day. This is for testing purposes.
• maxTries is the maximum number of tries per game day.
• seed is a seed with which the songs are shuffled (to prevent the need for manual shuffling of songs.json).
• siteUrl is the URL of the site. Used for the shareable emoji text thing.
