In this assignment, students are required to produce a documentation as well as a working text-based computer game program. The game that the students are required to produce is similar to the Hangman game. The rules of the game are:

1. In this game, the player try to guess the characters of a word.
2. The player has a limited amount of guesses per word.
3. If the player uses up all his guesses then he will loose a life. The player has a limited number of lives.
4. If the player managed to predict all the characters of a word the player then awarded a score depending on how many tries left.
5. The player lives can be increased after reacing certain milestones in the score.

Based on the above description, I had to make a console-based Hangman game as one of the assignments in the my degree.

Is there anything more depressing than command-line Hangman? I really doubt it.

When you start a game, you'll be shown a series of blanks. You can either guess at a letter that you think is in the word, or guess at the entire word. If you guess a letter correctly it will be filled in for you, if you finish the word, then you get points based on the number of lives you have remaining. Guess without losing a single life, and you get bonus points!

You can either use the mouse or the keyboard. Hotkeys are shown using yellow text.

*spits tea everywhere*

Ah... yeah, it is Windows only. You can poke about and try to get to work with ncurses or what-have-you, if you really want I guess.
