Crafting a Classic Hangman Game

Crafting a Classic Hangman Game

0%

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.

Hints 1/2

Guessing the word from a large file can be challenging, so we provide users with the option to use a hint.

Adding Hint Functionality

To integrate hint functionality into our program, we'll proceed in two phases. The hints_match function determines whether the current state of the gameword—which includes correctly guessed letters and placeholders—corresponds exactly to any word in the file. The function will return True if there's a match and False otherwise.

Task

Swipe to show code editor

Define the hints_match function with word_to_match and word_from_list as parameters.
Remove spaces from word_to_match.
Compare the lengths of test_list and other_list.
Return False if the lengths differ.
Initialize a for loop to iterate through test_list.
Increment the counter.
