     word_length = len(chosen_word)
     lives = 6

4. Main Game Loop

   • Description: The script runs the main game loop where the player guesses letters until they either win or lose the game.

   • while not end_of_game:
         # Display current game state
         # Prompt player to guess a letter
         # Check if guessed letter is in the word
         # Update game state accordingly
         # Check if player has won or lost

5. Checking Guesses and Updating Display

   • Description: The script checks the player's guessed letter against the chosen word and updates the display accordingly.

   • for position in range(word_length):
         letter = chosen_word[position]
         if letter == guess:
             display[position] = letter

6. End of Game Conditions

         end_of_game = True
         print("You Won.")
     if lives == 0:
         end_of_game = True
         print("You Lose")
         print(f"The Animal name is: {chosen_word}")

7. Printing Game State

   • Description: The script prints the current state of the Hangman game, including the Hangman figure and the word display.
