Simple Hangman Game
Reads a random lowercase word from a word list (usually found in /usr/share/dict/words on Linux and Mac) and prompts the user to guess a letter until the word is guessed or the maximum number of guesses is reached.
Dependencies
Python 2.x or 3.x
Configuration
At the top of the Python file there's a configuration section with the following options to configure.
WORDS_FILE - The file containing a list of words
GUESSES - The number of guesses the user is allowed before they're hung
MIN_WORD_LENGTH - The minimum number of letters allowed in a word (used to filter out short words from the word list). Set to 0 to disable filtering by length
DEBUG - Set to True to print debugging output, including the word to be guessed
Usage
Run python hangman.py and guess letters one at a time
