Hangman game

Inspiration

As someone who loves playing word games, I was inspired to create my own version of Hangman as a project. I wanted to challenge myself and others with a fun and interactive game that would test our vocabulary and language skills. In the process of developing the game, I was able to practice various programming skills, including string manipulation, input/output handling, and random word selection. It was a rewarding experience to see my project come to life and share it with others who also enjoy playing Hangman.

What it does

The Hangman game is a classic word-guessing game that typically involves one player guessing letters to reveal a hidden word, while another player provides clues and tracks the progress of the game. In my Hangman project, you may have implemented various features, such as a graphical user interface (GUI), multiple difficulty levels, randomized word selection, and different categories of words to choose from. Ultimately, the aim of your Hangman project is to provide an enjoyable and challenging game-playing experience for users.

How we built it

The following components of C++ have been used in the program:

Input/output stream (iostream) for console input/output Strings (string) for storing and manipulating text Vectors (vector) for creating a list of words to choose from Standard library functions (cstdlib) for generating random numbers Time functions (ctime) for seeding the random number generator based on the current time Looping structures (while) for controlling the game flow Conditional structures (if/else) for checking the player's guess and the game's end condition Character manipulation functions (toupper) for converting the player's guess to uppercase Control structures (break/continue) for controlling the game flow based on certain conditions

Challenges we ran into

Generating a list of words to use in the game that are appropriate and challenging for the intended audience. Designing and implementing the game logic, including keeping track of the user's guesses and updating the display of the partially completed word. Handling user input validation to ensure that the user can only enter valid guesses, such as a single letter of the alphabet. Implementing a graphical user interface that provides an enjoyable and intuitive user experience.

What we learned

Basic syntax and data types of C++ programming language. How to use control statements like loops and conditional statements. How to use C++ standard library functions like string, vector, srand, time, etc. How to generate random numbers and use them in programs. How to create functions to reduce code duplication and make programs more modular.
