Welcome to Hangman Python Game! This is a terminal-based implementation of the classic word-guessing game, Hangman. The game is built in Python and includes a list of tricky words to guess and some fun ASCII art.
Hangman is a simple word-guessing game where the player has to guess the word one letter at a time. Every incorrect guess costs the player a "life." If you run out of lives, you lose the game. But if you guess all the letters correctly, you win!
This Python version includes:
- A list of challenging words
- Fun ASCII art to visually represent your progress
- Randomized word selection for a new challenge every time you play
- Random word selection from a list of over 200 words.
- ASCII art to represent the hanging stages.
- User input for letter guesses.
- Track incorrect guesses and remaining lives.
- Win or lose based on the number of correct guesses.
- You will be shown an empty word represented by underscores (
_). - Guess one letter at a time by typing and hitting Enter.
- If you guess a correct letter, it will be revealed in the word.
- If you guess wrong, you'll lose a life, and part of the hangman will be drawn.
- You have 6 lives to guess the word before the hangman is fully drawn, and you lose the game.
- Win the game by guessing all the correct letters in the word.
To play the game locally, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/fazalsandhi/hangman-python-game.git- Navigate to the project directory:
cd hangman-python-game-
Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from here.
-
Run the game:
python main.pyWhen you run the script, you will be prompted to guess a letter. After each guess, the game will show the updated word and remaining lives.
Example:
Word to guess: _ _ _ _ _ _
Guess a letter: e
Word to guess: _ _ e _ _ _
The game ends when either:
- You correctly guess all the letters (You win!)
- You run out of lives (You lose, and the word is revealed).
