How To Make Hangman In Python?

Time needed: 5 minutes

These are the steps on How To Make Hangman In Python.

• Step 1: Import Libraries.

  First, Import all the required libraries of the python game.
  
  import random
import time

• Step 2: Create User Input To Register User Complete Name.

  Next, let’s create a user input to register the complete name of the user.
  
  # Initial Steps to invite in the game:
print("\nWelcome to Hangman game by IT SOURCECODE\n")
  This line of code displays the welcome text of the game.
  
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello " + name + "! Best of Luck!")
  In these lines of code, the system asks the user to input his/her name, and after that the system print or display the name to the console.
  
time.sleep(2)
print("The game is about to start!\n Let's play Hangman!")
time.sleep(3)
  In these lines of code, we create a time sleep function for 2 and 3 seconds and after that, the system displays the text “The game is about to start“.

• Step 3: Create a Main Module of Game.

  Next, we will create a main module of the game named “main“.
  
  # The parameters we require to execute the game:
def main():
global count
global display
global word
global already_guessed
global length
global play_game
  These lines of code are the global variables that use in the game to store data.
  
words_to_guess = ["january","border","image","film","promise","kids","lungs","doll","rhyme","damage"
,"plants"]
  These lines of code are the guessing words to be guessed by the user.
  
word = random.choice(words_to_guess)
length = len(word)
count = 0
display = '_' * length
already_guessed = []
play_game = ""
  These lines of code are the variables that are assigned to its functions.
  
  

• Step 4: Create a Loop To Ask The User If Want To Play Again.

  Next, we will create a loop to ask the user if he/she wants to play again.
  
  def play_loop():
global play_game
  This line of code is the declared variable to be used in this module.
  
  play_game = input("Do You want to play again? y = yes, n = no \n")
while play_game not in ["y", "n","Y","N"]:
play_game = input("Do You want to play again? y = yes, n = no \n")
if play_game == "y":
main()
elif play_game == "n":
print("Thanks For Playing! We expect you back again!")
exit()
  In these lines of code, it will ask the user if he/she wants to play again. If yes, the game will go to the main module if not the program will exit.

• Step 5: Create a Hangman Module

  Lastly, we will create the actual game for hangman.
  
  def hangman():
global count
global display
global word
global already_guessed
global play_game
limit = 5
guess = input("This is the Hangman Word: " + display + " Enter your guess: \n")
guess = guess.strip()
if len(guess.strip()) == 0 or len(guess.strip()) >= 2 or guess <= "9":
print("Invalid Input, Try a letter\n")
hangman()


elif guess in word:
already_guessed.extend([guess])
index = word.find(guess)
word = word[:index] + "_" + word[index + 1:]
display = display[:index] + guess + display[index + 1:]
print(display + "\n")

elif guess in already_guessed:
print("Try another letter.\n")

else:
count += 1

if count == 1:
time.sleep(1)
print(" _____ \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
"__|__\n")
print("Wrong guess. " + str(limit - count) + " guesses remaining\n")

elif count == 2:
time.sleep(1)
print(" _____ \n"
" | | \n"
" | |\n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
"__|__\n")
print("Wrong guess. " + str(limit - count) + " guesses remaining\n")

elif count == 3:
time.sleep(1)
print(" _____ \n"
" | | \n"
" | |\n"
" | | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
"__|__\n")
print("Wrong guess. " + str(limit - count) + " guesses remaining\n")

elif count == 4:
time.sleep(1)
print(" _____ \n"
" | | \n"
" | |\n"
" | | \n"
" | O \n"
" | \n"
" | \n"
"__|__\n")
print("Wrong guess. " + str(limit - count) + " last guess remaining\n")

elif count == 5:
time.sleep(1)
print(" _____ \n"
" | | \n"
" | |\n"
" | | \n"
" | O \n"
" | /|\ \n"
" | / \ \n"
"__|__\n")
print("Wrong guess. You are hanged!!!\n")
print("The word was:",already_guessed,word)
play_loop()

if word == '_' * length:
print("Congrats! You have guessed the word correctly!")
play_loop()

elif count != limit:
hangman()
