Detailed description

Implementation of the popular hangman game in C as a part of games in the repository. Hangman is word guessing game where the program will randomly pick a word from a word pool and represent it's letter in dashes"_ _ _". Now the user has to guess the right word within a particular number of chances.

Context

This Hangman game is a good example of user-define data structure. A hash table where alphabets are key and the index at which that alphabet is present in the word are its value.

Possible implementation

  1. We will maintain a word pool in a file
  2. program will select a word from the file randomly.
  3. This word will be stored in a data structure to determine the guess of the users and also if the user is guessing the same letters again.

Additional information

No response

This sounds intimidating !!
This will be a great opportunity for me to contribute to this. There are some changes that can be made in the conventional game.

  • What if we give them the first letter already.
  • This will make the game more engaging.
  • If this works, we can also then give them one of the letters in between the words.

Give me a chance to contribute to this !!
