Create a word hangman game.
The word hangman is a simple game. You will provide a word with the first letter. Rest of the letters will be blank. For example,
s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The player has to guess the letters in the word. And the player will guess one letter at a time. If the letter exists in the word, it will appear to the player.
If the letter doesn’t exist in the word, it will be counted as a wrong try.
If the player exceeds the number of the wrong tries, the player will lose.
Otherwise, the player will win.
import random
def selected_a_word():
words = ['working', 'hard', 'makes', 'things', 'easier', 'congrats', 'programming', 'hero']
word = words[random.randint(0, len(words)-1)]
return word
def get_blank_word(word):
blank_word = word[0]
for i in range(1, len(word)):
blank_word += '_'
return blank_word
def word_hangman(word, so_far, letter, try_left):
bad_try = True
for i in range(0, len(word)):
if word[i] == letter:
so_far = so_far[:i]+letter+so_far[i+1:]
bad_try = False
if bad_try is True:
try_left -= 1
print('Wrong Try Left: ', try_left)
print('so far you got: ', so_far)
if word == so_far:
print('YAY!!! You Win')
elif try_left == 0:
print('Opps!!! You Lost')
else:
next_letter = input ('Enter your next letter: ')
word_hangman(word, so_far, next_letter, try_left)
# play the game
word = selected_a_word()
clue_word = get_blank_word(word)
word_hangman(word, clue_word, word[0], 5)Take a deep breather. Start reading the code.
Reading other’s code and trying to understand will be a common activity for a programmer.
So, practice it here.
