***************************** *****READ ME FOR HANGMAN***** ***************************** DEVELOPERS --------------------------------- Karmen Freeman Lorenzo McDaniel Rukia Ambasha Katherine Arnold Munayfah Albaqami --------------------------------- Welcome to our recreation of Hangman! ***HOW TO RUN*** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hangman runs best on the Eclipse IDE. Simply import the project file into an Eclipse IDE with JavaFX implemented, and it should be ready to run. ***HOW TO PLAY*** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - In the first scene, you choose a word category from the drop-down box. - Upon submission of your category, the game scene opens up, with a secret word in asterisks at the bottom left of the screen. - You enter a SINGLE ALPHABETICAL CHARACTER into the text box to make a single letter guess. - If you would like to guess the full word at any time, you may enter your guess in the text box and submit using the "Guess Full Word" button. NOTE: This ends the game, no matter if you are right or wrong. Guess carefully! - You can only guess incorrectly 6 times before the man is hung and you lose the game. - You may win the game by either guessing the full word correctly or guessing the full amount of correct letters before your 6 incorrect guesses are used up. Simple! - When you either win or lose, you will have the option to restart the game and choose another category. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***ADDITIONAL NOTES*** - There is a "Help" menu on the first screen. If you click on the "About" tab, you will be able to view the developer names in a window. - In order to quit the game, you may use the x on the application window. There is no in-game way to exit the game. - The letter guessing is not case sensitive, so you may enter capital or lowercase letters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************** We hope you enjoy our version of Hangman! *****************************************
