Hangman is a classic game in which a player thinks of a word and the other player tries to guess that word within a certain amount of attempts.
This is an implementation of the Hangman game, where the computer thinks of a word and the user tries to guess it.
Discovered the assignement expression :=.
The project instructions did not lead to a complete hangman gameplay, so I tookthe liberty to add a few essential features.
In a commercial environment, any lack of clarity would have to be resolved with the relevant stakeholders so as to make sure that the product responds to actual requirements and expectations.
Pre-requisites:
- Python, conda, git must be installed, configured and working.
- I assume you have basic knowledge of the above.
Installation:
- Clone this repo.
You may try a few sample games with:
python hangman/milestone_5.py
Or from milestone_5 import Hangman in your own python file, in the hangman directory and use the following options to play a game:
<your variable> = Hangman(<optional word list>, <optional number of lives>)
<your variable>.play(<optional word list>)
# Note that a word list is necessary in one of the first two calls,otherwise play will raise an exception.
The word_lists module provides different possible word lists in the form of a dictionary indexed by categories.
The milestone_5 module provides some samples of full game play if invoked directly, it can be called as a library.
