The New and Improved Hangman

Inspiration

This project was inspired by my interest to digitise some common games which we used to play as kids. I have made a python tic tac toe before, and now, hangman came to mind. However, I did want to change things up a little bit, hence the new and improved hangman.

What it does

This project is a rather simple python program, mainly using functions, if, else and while loops to play the game.

How I built it

I built this program using the Visual Studio Code editor, with the python extension.

Challenges I ran into

I did not know how to find the indexed position of a word unknown to the user, but with some trial and error, and reference to multiple other projects, I could come up with a reliable system to locate the indexed position of a certain letter entered by the game player.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of the growth and learning which I achieved in the last 36 hours, from the Nhacks workshops to me working on my project. This is something that I could not have had anywhere else, and the experience gained is unmatchable!

What I learned

I learned a little more intricate or twisted indexing with letters in words, and the extensive use of which functions and global variables to create certain conditions under which the game can be played. These may help me in future projects, and they have also contributed to a greater understanding of functions, loops and variables.

What's next for The New and Improved Hangman

I would like to learn more about iOS development and the swift language to be able to develop this new hangman game into a more appealing app, rather than a simple program. Otherwise, I would like to incorporate this into a website, which I could do after extensively learning web development.
