About Hangman

Going back to our old school days, some of the pen-paper games were always a top for our leisure time. That is an old way, now to play Hangman. The new advancement in technologies allows us to play hangman using our own computer also without any other player. Language games is a general term used to cover a variety of language activities, and the function of language games is to practice specific language items such as grammar, vocabulary, and spelling, and it is important to develop language skill. Students can get a lot of knowledge and new experience by playing language games, because the students can learn language with different and fun ways. Language games will give them much benefit which is very important for their language skills. Game is usually used in language teaching. And there are some reasons why game can be used in language teaching, such as: First, to learn language is hard work. To understand, to repeat accurately, to adapt, and to use newly understood language in conversation and in written composition need an effort. And by using game, it can help many learners to sustain in their interest and work. A major problem in education is lack of motivation. Students often exert the minimum rather than maximum effort. Students with low motivation definitely learn the material with a little effort. While the students with high motivation will learn something with their big effort. And their effort to learn will give an influence for their achievement. One of the main tasks of the teacher is to make their students interested in the subject, even though the students do not have an interest in it something. It will be different with the students who have low motivation.

Project Objectives

Hangman Game

Hangman is a paper and pencil guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word, phrase or sentence and the other tries to guess it by suggesting letters within a certain number of guesses.

•It’s a simple hangman game.

•The player has to guess the letters in the word.

•If you get a letter wrong a body part is added to the hangman game.

•the hangman body display as an image.

•If the guessing player (In this case your model) suggests a letter which occurs in the word, letter is revealed in all its correct positions.

•If the suggested letter does not occur in the word, then it is marked as a wrong attempt. The guesser can make at most 5 wrong attempts for predicting a given word.

Project Implementation Method

How to Play

•If the letter is correctly guessed, index searches for that letter in the word.

•Display adds that letter in the given space according to its index or where it belongs in the given word.

•If we have already guessed the correct letter before and we guess it again, It tells the user to try again and does not lessen any chances.

•If the user guessed the wrong letter, the hangman starts to appear which also tells us how many guesses are left. Count was initialized to zero and so with every wrong guess its value increases with one.

•Limit is set to 5 and so (limit- count) is the guesses left for the user with every wrong input. If it reaches the limit, the game ends, showing the right guesses (if any) and the word that was supposed to be guessed.

Code Explanation:     elif guess in word:         already_guessed.extend([guess])         index = word.find(guess)         word = word[:index] + "_" + word[index + 1:]         display = display[:index] + guess + display[index + 1:]         print(display + " ")      elif guess in already_guessed:         print("Try another letter. ")      else:         count += 1          if count == 1:             time.sleep(1)             print("   _____  "                   "  |       "                   "  |       "                   "  |       "                   "  |       "                   "  |       "                   "  |       "                   "__|__ ")             print("Wrong guess.

Benefits of the Project

The main Puropose of this game to motivate students through this game to learn basic vocabulary of English. A major problem in education is lack of motivation. Students often exert the minimum rather than maximum effort. Students with low motivation definitely learn the material with a little effort. While the students with high motivation will learn something with their big effort. And their effort to learn will give an influence for their achievement. One of the main tasks of the teacher is to make their students interested in the subject, even though the students do not have an interest in it something. It will be different with the students who have low motivation. They will have a feeling that they are forced to learn the subjects. Motivation is very important in learning process because it can make the students active to look for information in the learning process, make the students creative, independent, and it is appropriate with their talent and ability. And also, there are three attitude objects that need to be assessed in learning process such as attitude towards the learning materials, attitude towards the teacher and attitude towards learning process. And there are some indicators of motivation, such as grades and test score, perceived competence or confidence, attitudes toward school or class.
