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.

Preparation for the Hangman!

First, we need to import the libraries required for the game and define new functions.

The first function, named load_words(), is used to retrieve all words from a given file. One random word from this file will be chosen for the game process in the future.

Task

Import the random library.
Import the string library.
Define the load_words function to load words from a file.
Initialize the word_list variable to store the words for the game.
