Hangman Game

A simple Python command-line Hangman game built for CodeAlpha – Python Programming Internship (Task 1).

Author: Adarsh Singh

Goal

Create a simple text-based Hangman game where the player guesses a word one letter at a time.

How It Works

• The game randomly picks a word from a small predefined list of 5 words.
• The player guesses one letter at a time.
• Correct letters are revealed in the word; incorrect guesses count against a limit of 6.
• An ASCII art "hangman" gets drawn a bit more with each wrong guess.
• The game ends when the player either guesses the full word (win) or makes 6 wrong guesses (lose).
• After each game, the player can choose to play again.

Key Concepts Used

• random module
• while loops
• if-else conditionals
• Strings
• Lists

How to Run

1. Make sure you have Python 3 installed.
2. Download hangman_game.py from this repo.
3. Open a terminal in that folder and run:

   python hangman_game.py
   

4. Type a single letter at each prompt to guess. Try to guess the word before you run out of guesses!
