Let's build another guessing game. One player, makes up a secret word or phrase (we will use movie titles), while the other player tries to guess the word by asking what letters it contains. However, every wrong guess brings them one step closer to losing. To indicate how many attempts are left, instead of the usual hanging man drawing, we draw the shrug emoji. It consists of exactly 10 characters:
¯\_(:/)_/¯Every wrong guess, draws one more piece of the emoji. If the user has already guessed this letter once, ask them for another letter, instead of couting it as a wrong guess.
The secret movie title is displayed masked - every character except spaces is represented by an underscore _. With every correct guess, all ocurrences of the letter are revealed.
Once the game is over, print a list of all games played, and whether they were a win or a loss:
- Braveheart - win
- The Godfather - loss
Without adding the extra feature for asking for another round, this list will always have 1 item.
- Use class: Ideally your class is unaware of the
promptor theconsole. - All changes re pushed to your Github repo.
- Make use of
console.clear(), so we only see the most recent state of the word and the shrugman emoji. - Add guess categories: The user can have mutliple categories to choose from. We already have movies, let's add also books, or quotes. If they choose movies, we will ask them to guess a movie title. If they choose books, we will ask them to guess a book title.
- Ask the user to play another round with the same category.
- Use
requireto split into separate files: you should have at least 2 files, one main file and one where the class will live. - use colors to make things a bit more colorful 🌈
