Introducing the Hangman game with enhanced features and language selection. This game is built using Python and Pygame and incorporates NLTK for a broader vocabulary. This version of the game is designed for easy setup using a requirements.txt file, making installation a breeze. You can enjoy playing the game with a wider vocabulary and language customization. Let's get started!
Before you start playing the game, make sure you have the following:
- Python: Make sure Python is installed on your computer. You can download it from Python's official website.
- Virtual Environment (Optional): It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies and avoid conflicts with your system-wide Python packages. You can create a virtual environment using the following commands:
# On Windows
python -m venv myenv
myenv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS and Linux
python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
- Requirements File: This version of the game comes with a requirements.txt file that specifies all the required dependencies. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install Pygame, NLTK, Google Translate API, and Unidecode automatically.
- Running the Game: To start the game, run the Python script provided in your local environment.
python main.py
- Language Selection: At the beginning of the game, you can choose your preferred language by using the UP and DOWN arrow keys and pressing ENTER.
- Game Rules: You will be presented with a secret word, and you need to guess it one letter at a time. You have a limited number of chances to make incorrect guesses. The game will display underscores for each letter in the word that you need to guess.
- Guessing Letters: Use the keyboard to enter a letter. If the letter is in the word, it will be revealed; otherwise, you will lose a chance. Repeated guesses of the same letter are not penalized.
- Winning and Losing: You win the game by correctly guessing the entire word before running out of chances. If you run out of chances, you lose the game.
- Restart: After winning or losing, press any key to restart the game. You can also press ESCAPE to return to the language selection menu.
- Animated Sans: Enjoy animated Sans characters from Undertale throughout the game.
- Sound Effects: The game includes various sound effects to enhance the gaming experience.
- Interactive UI: The game provides a colorful and interactive user interface to make your gaming session enjoyable.
- Expanded Vocabulary: Thanks to NLTK, the game now has access to a broader range of words, making each playthrough unique.
- Language Selection: Choose your preferred language to play the game. The game supports multiple languages.
- Translation: The game can translate messages into your selected language for a fully immersive experience.
The game randomly selects words from NLTK's English word corpus. This corpus contains a vast collection of English words, making the game more challenging and diverse.
You can choose your preferred language from a list of available languages at the beginning of the game. This feature provides a fully localized experience.
