A command line game of Hangman built using Ruby.
Pretty standard game of Hangman. You attempt to reveal a word by guessing one letter at a time. Correct letters are shown to you while incorrect guesses contribute to your error tally. Accumulate 6 errors and you ... hang? Kinda dark.
Easiest way to play is to use the replit I have set up here: Repl
Two most notable improvements I could make:
- Improve the look of the display/command line output. Could add colors to some of the text, and most significantly, I could represent the incorrect_guesses with an ascii art hangman.
- Running
play_again?after the user saves their game is an odd bit of user experience. I suspect fixing this will require quite a bit of refactoring, so I'll leave it as something to possibly return to later.
