Everyone else makes a "hangman" style game, why not? A few weeks into LaunchCode with Python gave me the idea to make my own version, and taking note from classmates.
This script requires two PIP installs; -pypandoc -randomwordgenerator
We start by fetching 20 random words from the web, with a backup list in the event the web is down. These are stored into a list with one word selected by a random number generated using the random module. The random word is stored into a list, and a "duplicate list is made of the same length, but with "-"s instead of letters. The dashes list is stored to a tkinter StringVar() to be displayed in a label. Also stored in a StringVar() is the attempts remaining and already used letters that are wrong. The user enters a letter via a text entry box, using the Enter key. The entry is compared to the original random word and if the geuss is valid, the "-"s list is updated with the geuss. If it is not, the wrong geuss is added to the wrong geuss label and the attempts is decremented by one. The images change in the same manner with all other functions being driven by the "gamedriver()" function
I am always down for input, collab, etc.
