Hangman is a popular word guessing game where the player attempts to build a missing word by guessing one letter at a time. After a certain number of incorrect guesses, the game ends and the player loses. The game also ends if the player correctly identifies all the letters of the missing word.
It is a command line based game developed in java in which player has 5 lives to guess the word.
-
Random word is selected from a list of words using API https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/word?number=10
-
The user will get only 5 lives to play the game
-
Initially the user is shown “” (underscore) in the console for each letter in the word. For example, if the word is “banana”, user will see “ _ _ _ _ _”
-
For every correct letter guess, replace the “” (underscore) with the letter. For example, if user guessed “n”, user will see “ _ n _ n _”
-
If the user guesses the same letter again, don’t do anything and continue with the game. For example, if the user guessed “n” again, show “_ _ n _ n _” and continue.
-
For every incorrect guess, reduce the number of lives by 1
-
The game ends when the user guesses the word correctly or there are no lives remaining.
