Solo one day project @ BeCode: ARAI 5

Gain practical knowledge about Python OOP programming.

Build a Terminal version of Hangman game.

• First thing first, convince yourself not to pannick. This way or another everything going to be just fine!
• Once calmed down, start working...
• Break the project to smaller tasks and build it task by task.
• Learn while doing, because it's the best learning.
• Once you have a stable working version, push to main and tag.
• Keep improving, but don't forget to work on a branch to keep stable version clean.
• Stable again, push to branch, create a pull request, review, and merge to main.
• When reaching a milestone or adding improvements, ad a tag.

• A random word is selected from the list of available words and presented to a player with undescores representing each letter.
• A player is asked to enter a letter:
  • Only A-Z letter can be accepted,
  • If a player enters a wrong character or more than one character, the question is repeated,
  • If a player enters a letter that has been played already, a message is presented and the question is repeated.
• A letter enterred is checked in the list of the letters that construct this word:
  • If a letter entered by a player does not appear in the word:
    • A meesage stating that the guess was wrong appears,
    • Number of lives is rduced by one.
  • If a letter entered appears in the word, a meesage stating that the guiess was right appears,
  • The word is presented again:
    • In case any letters guessed right, they appear in the right positions,
    • The intro message is adjusted to the situation:
      • You haven't guessed any letters in case of no correct guesses,
      • You guessed these letters correctly in case of at leas one correct guess.
    • If all letters are guessed correctly, the game stops and the winning message is presented.
  • The list of wrongly guessed letters is presented,
  • Player's status message is presented with:
    • Number of played turns,
    • Total number of turns available (a.k.a lives),
    • Number of errors made so far.
• At the end of a turn with a correct guess, a player is presented with an option to guess the whole word:
  • A player has a choice to continue without taking this attemp or try to guess the whole word,
  • If a player guesses correctly, the game is over and the winning message is presented,
  • Else the game continues, if and only if the user has live/s left.
• If a player runs out of lives, the loosing message is presented.
• The winning message presents the word and the game summary:
  • Total number if turns used,
  • Number of lives left,
  • Total number of errors made.
• Please note! When a player fails to guess the whole word, it doesn not count as an error.

The gameto be played in Terminal:

• Power Shell
• Git Bash Anything works!

Just make sure you have Python v3.11 or higher installed on your machine.

• Open Terminal.
