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.

Guessed Word

Preventing Excessive Gameplay

The program must recognize when to cease prompting the user for letters once the word has been successfully guessed. To achieve this, we'll develop the is_word_guessed function. This function will effectively communicate:

Great, the player has guessed the word correctly! It's time to halt the program and congratulate the player.

Task

Swipe to show code editor

Define the is_word_guessed function with gameword and letters_already_guessed as parameters.
Implement a condition to verify whether letters_already_guessed matches gameword.
Return True if the condition is met, and False otherwise.

Note

During the execution of the second step, employ the set(gameword) & set(letters_already_guessed) expression to compare it with the set(gameword). This approach ensures that only the letters from letters_already_guessed that are in gameword are considered. The & operator identifies letters common to both sets.
