This Hangman game is a text-based Python implementation where players can guess words and try to complete them before running out of lives. The game provides a visual representation of the hangman figure and gives players the option to exit or start a new game.
- Word Selection: Randomly selects a word from a list of over 100 words stored in the
words.jsonfile. - Visual Feedback: Displays a series of ASCII art hangman figures for each incorrect guess stored in the
hangmanPics.jsonfile. - User Interaction: Allows users to input characters to guess the word.
- Game Outcome: Declares whether the player has won or lost the game, revealing the correct word if lost.
- New Game Option: After completing a game, users have the option to start a new game.
- words.json: Contains a list of words used for the game. Over 100 words are stored in this file.
- hangmanPics.json: Contains a list of ASCII art representations of the hangman figure corresponding to each incorrect guess.
- Run the Python script in your terminal or preferred Python environment.
- Choose to either exit the game (
"e") or play ("p"). - If playing, input characters to guess the word.
- The game will provide visual feedback and inform you of the outcome.
- After completing a game, choose to start a new game.
