In this milestone, the ask_letter() function was implemented, which will ask the user for a letter. The flow chart is as follows:
In this milestone, the attributes were added to the init method. Then the ask_letter() function was updated to whether the typed letter has been tried already.
1.word: The word to be guessed picked randomly from the word_list
2.word_guessed: A list of the letters of the word, with '_' for each letter not yet guessed
3.num_letters: The number of UNIQUE letters in the word that have not been guessed yet
4.num_lives: The number of lives the player has
5.list_letters: A list of the letters that have already been tried
The flow chart is as follows:
In this milestone, the check_letter() function was implemented, which will check if the letter is in the word. If it is, it replaces the '_' in the word_gressed list with the letter. If it is not, it reduces the number of lives by 1.
- Using the if letter in word: to check if the letter is in word.
- Using the following code to replace the '_' in the word_gressed list with the letter
for i in range(0,len(self.word)):
if self.word[i] == lower_letter:
self.word_gessed[i] = lower_letterThe flow chart is as follows:
In this milestone, ask the user to enter a letter until the user guesses the word. In addition, whenever the user lose a life, an additional part of hangman will be visualised. A list name show_status will store the visualizations which correspond to num_lives. The core code is as follows:
game = Hangman(word_list, num_lives=6)
while True:
game.ask_letter()
if '_' not in game.word_gessed:
print("Congratulation! You won!")
exit()
elif game.num_lives == 0:
print(f"You lost! The word was {game.word}")
