Welcome to my new gem! It is just a classic implentation of the Hangman game.
To play this game, just follow the simple instructions below
Simply open your terminal and then run
gem install paitin_hangman
If you are on a windows platform, open the command prompt and the run the command above
This game is a REPL game, i.e it is being played from and with the Terminal. To start it just run paitin_hangman.
Once started, the game is very intuitive and easy to follow.
###"Welcome to Hangman, the no-nonsense game
Be smart, then you live. if not, you'll have to die by Hanging.
You have a couple of options to pick from.....
Press 'P' or 'play' if you think you are ready for the challenge,
You may press 'I' or 'instructions' for a short explanation of how to play
You may continue a previously saved game by pressing 'L' or 'load'
Or you could just quit by pressing a 'Q' or typing 'quit'"
"The word to guess is represented by a row of dashes
These dashes represent each letter of the word.
Words you cannot use include proper nouns such as names, places, and brands.
If the guessing player suggests a letter which occurs in the word,
the other player writes it in all its correct positions."
The guessing player must guess all of the letters of the word within a limited amount of chances. Faiure to do so will result in his death by hanging
In player mode, if the player is typing his word, it will not be displayed on the screen, it will be hidden so as not to give the challenged player undue advantage.
You can actually reveal the word by pressing
:corcheat. This is a cheat for solving the problem and it is not recommended.
You can quit at any point by pressing
:qor typingquitwhereby you will be asked if you want to save the game or just quit. (The option to save is only available in the computer mode.)If you press
:hor typehistory, a list showing your guesses will be displayed.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
