Hangman Game

Overview

This Hangman game is a text-based Python implementation where players can guess words and try to complete them before running out of lives. The game provides a visual representation of the hangman figure and gives players the option to exit or start a new game.

Features

• Visual Feedback: Displays a series of ASCII art hangman figures for each incorrect guess stored in the hangmanPics.json file.
• User Interaction: Allows users to input characters to guess the word.
• Game Outcome: Declares whether the player has won or lost the game, revealing the correct word if lost.
• New Game Option: After completing a game, users have the option to start a new game.
