This project is an interesting game developed in the C++ language, based on the popular classic Hangman. User has to guess a secret word in a fixed number of guesses. He will be hanged if he cannot guess the letter in available chances. With the option to select one level out of 5 available, the gameplay can be customized to fit the user’s wish. Help is also included in the game itself.
Development of this game consumed a great deal of work and dedication, but the results has proved to be fruitful.
Some features of the program are:
- The console output of the program is presented in a neat and clean way.
- Browsing through the user interface is easy and smooth.
- User has the choice to select a difficulty level from: Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Hard, and Extremely Hard.
- The game is designed so that a word which has been asked, does not come up again, during a runtime.
- There is a built-in help screen for users who are new to hangman.
- Program comes bundled up with a big collection of country names.
- User can easily add his own words and remove existing, due to the use of file handling.
- The program uses many functions to make the transfer of control easier and hassle free.
- The code has been written as per ANSI C++ standard, which makes it universally compatible.
- This program is totally bug free and stable as suggested by results till date.
- I have created a page on my website teraflik.com to provide support to this game, and also to provide updates.
- Just visit: http://www.teraflik.com
The game starts with the main menu showing up where user can select his choice by entering the serial number corresponding to his choice.
If user starts the game then all the details about his level are shown, and a hidden word is displayed, asking him to input a guess. This guess is compared to the secret letters, where, if user gets it wrong, he loses a life, or if he guesses correctly, then the process is repeated again until the whole word is guessed.
From the menu, user can change his level and also see how to play the game.

Visit http://www.teraflik.com/ for full-fledged support and to report any bugs or improvements needed. Any kind of feedback is important for further development of program.
Even after putting much efforts to get the game to its current level, there still remain some possibilities to do more. They can include:
- Allowing user to play the game in more categories of words.
- Displaying the characters already used up by the user.
- Using graphics to display the hangman, to make the game more appealing.
I hope to add these features in the game, in its process of further development or you can simply contribute by creating a pull request. Thanks!
