Hangman

In this video, I guide you step-by-step on how to create a classic hangman game using the language of Python! The code is below. Watch it and have fun!

import random # Importing libraries

words = input("Type in the words that you would like me to pick from") # Ask what words the player wants to use

if words == '':

words = input("Please tell me what words to use") # If the player doesn't type any words when prompted, then ask again

print("You have unlimited tries to guess the word") # Let the player know that they have unlimited tries to guess the word

wrds = words.split() # Split the words that user types in based on wherever there is a space(use .split())

player = False # Set the player's turn to false(Now is computer's turn)

computer = random.choice(wrds) # Pick a random word from the words that the player has given

while player == False: # Loop that is used to code what happens in computer's turn

wrd1 = input("Guess my word('quit' for quit, 'hint' for hint, 'reset' for resetting the words)") # Let the player try to guess the computer's word

if wrd1 == "quit": # If the player types "quit", break the loop

print("Thanks for playing!")

break # Keyword in Python that means stop the running loop

elif wrd1 == "hint": # If the player types "hint", give how many letters is the computer's word

print("My word is {} letters long".format(len(computer)))

elif wrd1 == "reset": # If the player types "reset", ask the player again for words to pick from

words = input("Please tell me what your words are: ")

wrds = words.split() # Split words that the player provides

computer = random.choice(wrds) # Pick random word from the words that the player gave

print("Alright, I got it!") # Let the player know that the computer has picked a random word

elif wrd1 == computer: # If the player picks computer's word, then ask if the player wants to play again

guessed = input("You guessed it! Want to play again(y/n)?") # Ask the player if they want to play again

if guessed == "y": # If the player types "y", continue playing

computer = random.choice(wrds) # Pick a random word from the words that the player previously gave

continue # Keyword in Python that means continue running the loop

if guessed == "n": # If the player types "n", stop playing

print("We will play later, bye!")

break # Stop the running loop
