Hangman Game in Python

Project Description

The Hangman Game is a classic word-guessing game where players attempt to guess a hidden word by suggesting letters. Each incorrect guess results in losing a life, and the game ends when the player either guesses the word correctly or runs out of lives.

This project is implemented in Python and includes a word list and ASCII art representation of the hangman stages.

How to Play

1. Start the Game: Run the script in your terminal or IDE:

   python hangman.py

2. Guess a Letter: The program will display blanks representing the hidden word. Type a letter and press Enter.

3. Correct or Incorrect Guess:

   • If the letter is in the word, it will be revealed in the correct position.
   • If the letter is incorrect, you lose a life and the hangman drawing progresses.

4. Winning or Losing:

   • If you correctly guess all letters, you win! 🎉
   • If you run out of lives, you lose, and the correct word is revealed.

Example Usage

_ _ _ _ _ 
Guess a letter: e
_ e _ _ _ 
Guess a letter: a
You guessed 'a', that's not in the word. You lose a life.
