How to Build a Hangman Game with Python

Показать описание

In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Ben Finkel covers a great way to practice coding in Python: developing your own simple game.

Once you've learned loops and conditionals in Python, you can master them and other skills on variables, data types and operators by developing a Hangman game. Ben walks you through implementing the rudimentary, early pieces of coding and programming in Python and combining them in interesting ways. Practice your Python skills: Ben covers loops, complex if statements and checks, and breaks. The game Hangman can be a bit morbid, but learning Python doesn't have to be.

I like how your code is beginner friendly! Very helpful.

Thanks for the game. I added a few lines:
#The secret word the player is trying to guess
import random
Let's play Hangman
#word list: can be expanded
wbase = ['birthday', 'background', 'children', 'people', 'orange', 'station', 'Saturday',
'computer', 'January', 'office', 'helicopter', 'channel', 'stadium', 'friendship', 'interesting']

chosenWord = random.choice(wbase)
secretWord = chosenWord.upper()
letterGuessed = ''

#The number of turns before the player loses
failureCount = 6

#Loop until the player has made to many failed attempts
#Will 'break' loop if they succeed instead
while failureCount > 0:

#Get the guessed letter from the player
playerGuess = input('\nEnter a letter: ')
guess = playerGuess.upper()

if guess in secretWord:
#Player guessed a correct letter!
print(f'Correct. There is one or more {guess} in the secret word.')
else:
failureCount -= 1
print(f'Incorrect. There are no {guess} in the secretWord.{failureCount} turns left')

#Maintain a list of all letters guessed
letterGuessed += guess
wrongLetterCount = 0

for letter in secretWord:
if letter in letterGuessed:
print(f'{letter}', end = '')
else:
print('_', end = '')
wrongLetterCount +=1
print("")
#If there we no wrong letters, then the player won.
if wrongLetterCount == 0:
print(f'\nCongratulations! The secretWord word was {secretWord}!')
break

else:
print("\nSorry, you didn't win it. Better luck next time.")#Hoping it can be of help for beginners like me.

great tutorial I belived that it can't be done without set or enumerate even list or dictionary comprenhensions, thank you, you help me a lot

3:35 You can put a underscore between the word to make it look nicers (lines 1 and 2) Letters_Guessed
Secret_Word

Can you put this code in the description so I can copy and paste. I copy everything that you did but it’s still wrong.
