Python Day 7_Beginner – Hangman

How to break a complex problem down into a flow chart (Flow chart programming)

 

Challenge 1 – Picking a random word and checking
import random

#step 1
#TODO-2 - Ask the user to guess a letter and assign their answer to a variable called guess. Make guess lowercase.

    guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()

#TODO-3 - Check if the letter the user guessed (guess) is one of the letters in the chosen_word.

 

# for letter in chosen_word:

#     if letter == guess:

#         print("Right")

#     else:

#         print("Wrong")

Challenge 2 – Replacing Blanks with guesses
#step 2

#TODO-1: - Create an empty List called display.

#For each letter in the chosen_word, add a "_" to 'display'.

#So if the chosen_word was "apple", display should be ["_", "_", "_", "_", "_"] with 5 "_" representing each letter to guess.

 

display = []

word_length = len(chosen_word)

for _ in range(word_length):

    display += "_"

#TODO-2: - Loop through each position in the chosen_word;

#If the letter at that position matches 'guess' then reveal that letter in the display at that position.

#e.g. If the user guessed "p" and the chosen word was "apple", then display should be ["_", "p", "p", "_", "_"].

 

    for position in range(word_length):

        letter = chosen_word[position]

        if letter == guess:

            display[position] = letter

#TODO-3: - Print 'display' and you should see the guessed letter in the correct position and every other letter replace with "_".

    #Hint - Don't worry about getting the user to guess the next letter. We'll tackle that in step 3.

 

    print(display)

 

Challenge 3 – Checking if the player has won

#step3

#TODO-1: - Use a while loop to let the user guess again. The loop should only stop once the user has guessed all the letters in the chosen_word and 'display' has no more blanks ("_"). Then you can tell the user they've won.

#add the following infront of guess variable

end_of_game = False

while not end_of_game:

#add after display variable
if "_" not in display:

        end_of_game = True

        print("You Win")

Challenge 4 – Keeping track of the player’s lives
#step 4

#TODO-1: - Create a variable called 'lives' to keep track of the number of lives left.

#Set 'lives' to equal 6.

 

lives = 6

# TODO-2: - If guess is not a letter in the chosen_word,

    # Then reduce 'lives' by 1.

    # If lives goes down to 0 then the game should stop and it should print "You lose."

 

if guess not in chosen_word:       
lives -= 1

        if lives == 0:

            end_of_game = True

            print("You lose")

#step 4

#TODO-3: - print the ASCII art from 'stages' that corresponds to the current number of 'lives' the user has remaining.

    import Hangman_art

    print(Hangman_art.stages[lives])

Challenge 5 – Improving the User Experience (Using module)

#step 5

#TODO-1: - Update the word list to use the 'word_list' from hangman_words.py

import hangman_word_list

chosen_word = random.choice(hangman_word_list.word_list)

 

#step 5

#TODO-3: - Import the logo from hangman_art.py and print it at the start of the game.

from Hangman_art import logo

print(logo)

 

#step5
# TODO-4: - If the user has entered a letter they've already guessed, print the letter and let them know.

    if guess in display:

        print(f"You've already guessed {guess}")

 

# step 5

# TODO-5: - If the letter is not in the chosen_word, print out the letter and let them know it's not in the word.

        print(f"You guessed {guess}, that's not in the word. You lose a life")

 

Hangman Code

import random

 

import hangman_word_list

chosen_word = random.choice(hangman_word_list.word_list)

 

lives = 6

 

from Hangman_art import logo

print(logo)

 

display = []

word_length = len(chosen_word)

for _ in range(word_length):

    display += "_"

 

end_of_game = False

 

while not end_of_game:

 

    guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()

    if guess in display:

        print(f"You've already guessed {guess}")

 

    for position in range(word_length):

        letter = chosen_word[position]

        if letter == guess:

            display[position] = letter

 

    if guess not in chosen_word:

        print(f"You guessed {guess}, that's not in the word. You lose a life")

        lives -= 1

        if lives == 0:

            end_of_game = True

            print("You lose")

 

    print(display)

 

    if "_" not in display:

        end_of_game = True

        print("You Win")

 

    import Hangman_art

    print(Hangman_art.stages[lives])
