hangman

Copilot workspace kicking the tires

Goal

The goal of this project is to create a simple game of hangman using Copilot workspace.

How to Run the Game

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Run the game using the command: python hangman.py
4. To run the game with the user interface, use the command: python hangman_ui.py

Game Rules

1. The game will randomly select a word.
2. The player will try to guess the word by suggesting letters within a certain number of guesses.
3. If the player suggests a letter that is in the word, the letter appears in the correct position(s).
4. If the player suggests a letter that is not in the word, the number of remaining guesses decreases.
5. The game ends when the player guesses the word correctly or runs out of guesses.

User Interface

The user interface includes the following elements:

• A display area for the word to be guessed, with underscores representing unguessed letters
• A display area for the letters that have been guessed incorrectly
• A display area for the number of remaining guesses
• A display area for the hangman graphic, which updates as incorrect guesses are made
• An input field for the player to enter their guesses
• A button to submit the guess
• A message area to display game status (e.g., win/lose messages)
