Hangman is all about guessing a certain word with a limited number of guesses. If you run out of guesses you get "hanged", if you get the word correct then you get to stay alive. This implementation requires you to have access to a C compiler and be able to run the executable.
Be sure that hangman.c, hangman.h, dictionary.txt, and Makefile are all in the same directory and all named appropriately. If the file names are changed, you will have to alter some of the code yourself. To compile, type 'make' into the terminal, there should be no errors or warnings. You can start the game by typing './hangman' into the command line. All commands from now on are given by typing in an answer and pressing the 'Enter' key.
./hangman
To play by yourself, enter 'y'. The computer will choose a word from the dictionary and random and give you an appropriate amount of guesses. Type letters one by one until the word has been solved or you have run out of guesses.
When playing with multiple people, you get to choose how many tries you get and are not limited to dictionary words. Anything goes, but try to make it fun. Enter 'n' once the game is running to choose multiplayer mode. You will be able to choose the number of tries the guesser(s) get, then enter the chosen word. No text will appear while typing to keep it a secret. Letters can be entered until the entire word is guessed or the guesser(s) run out of tries.
Make sure the program is compiled and all files have their original names (as listed above). If you are still having issues, feel free to email me at lukerindels983@gmail.com. Thanks for playing!
