Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where players aim to uncover a hidden word by suggesting letters within a limited number of attempts. The game progresses with each incorrect guess, drawing parts of a hangman figure, leading to a loss if the figure is completed before the word is fully guessed. In this project, participants will methodically build a digital version of Hangman. We will start by loading a word list from a file, then move on to develop functions for handling guesses, updating the game state, and managing the game's flow, culminating in a complete, playable game.

I followed all the steps, but in the end I couln't play the game. So I had to as AI to help me, to correct my code, because the hints weren't enough help. Just one time (in one chapter)I could actually check my code. In the end there were several mistakes, which I could not have found with only the hints

The juptr nodebook is fragile and can easily break, landing you on a 404 error page. The help topics are inadequate and fail to address things like cells and how they operate. The help video to explain the editor skims lightly over the functionality. You have to experiment to figure out things lilke how to save your work and how to run the program once you're done.

The main function, which had 3 or 4 different chapters of instruction, was already filled in. Otherwise, this was a good exercise!...

I found that it didn't save my progress so each time I went to finish it I had to start all over again! the end was very confusing for me and I didn't understand it. It looked like it was written but then it said I was wrong.

Pretty cool, but l think it will be some simple text graphic here. If you try pass from phone, may some problems with saving previous code, that need do backups) In general not bad, and i think some examples how to do and how not to do was here, try it.

Seemed pretty good until the end where it just seemed to tank....

Easy to follow, but the bulk of the hangman code is already written for you and there is no challenge. Also, could not download the certificate....

+ Relatively easy to follow, good hints. Well structured. - It resets if you leave the course. The whole page will freeze if its left too long.
