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.

Tracking the Game Word's Progress

To keep the user informed about the progress of their guesses, it's essential to display both the number of correctly guessed letters and the letters still to be guessed after each attempt.

For this purpose, we will develop the get_guessed_word function. This function will maintain a result_list, which represents the current state of the gameword, including correctly guessed letters and placeholders for the remaining letters.

Task

Swipe to show code editor

Define the get_guessed_word function with gameword and letters_already_guessed as parameters.
Create a for loop to iterate through gameword using i as the iterator, utilizing the range() function for iteration.
Implement a condition to determine if elements within gameword match any in letters_already_guessed.
If the condition is met, append the letter list(gameword)[i] to result_list; otherwise, append '_ ' (including the space).
