AI Hangman

Inspiration

Having learned a lot of matlab these past few months, I wanted to create a matlab game which incorporated AI into it and user interaction to create a fun approach to hangman.

What it does

The game has a start screen on which the AI is there and you can press the play button to take you to the game. After that, you have a few tries to guess the word after which if you use up all your tries and can't get the word, the entire hangman figure is drawn and the game ends.

How we built it

I built this game using MATLAB and the app designer app in matlab.

Challenges we ran into

Originally, I was having trouble getting the buttons to work in the appdesigner, but was then able to figure out what to code inside of it to get it to work. I also wasn't initially able to get the dashes to appear so the user knows how many letters was in that word but was eventually able to fix it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud that I was able to make an entire MATLAB game in one weekend and completely learn how to use app designer to make the complete app. I am also now as familiar with making apps as I am for websites so this helped me realize that I am fully capable of making complete apps in future Hackathons. It has also been a few months since I participated in a Hackathon so I am proud that I was able to create a MATLAB app by myself within time.
