Hangman Game in Python Programming

Hangman is a famous game in computer which basically matches the word generated by computer with the word that you guess. If there is a match you get a reward else the game continues asking for a new input.

In the game below, the user first has to input their names and then, will be asked to guess any alphabet. If the random word contains that alphabet, it will be shown as the output with correct placement else the program will ask you to guess another alphabet. User will be given few turns which can be changed accordingly, to guess the complete word. In the hangman game the user has to guess the correct words to save a life.

We use the random module and also many special characters to draw the diagram after response. The diagram can be made to look like man hanging when the response failed to get the correct answer. But overall it is a guessing game.
