Journey towards Creating Hangman.

I love when people take a sophisticated tool and use it to play video games. Take Unity for example. I first saw my friends created a game in Unity, which was an Virtual reality game. My friends Vivek and Payas then inspired me to more efficiently waste time in creating something of my own like their VR game. Rather than jumping directly to a VR game so we thought to start something from the basics. So, the other day I had an immense amount of college work to do and decided it was the perfect time to make a hangman game. 
So, What is hangman? In its purest form, hangman is a word game played between two people. One person selects a secret word, and the other tries to determine the word by guessing it letter-by-letter. The player with the secret writes a series of dashes, one representing each letter in the solution. Initially, no information is known about the target word, other than its length. The solver calls out letters, one-by-one. If a called letter appears in the solution, all occurrences in the solution are filled in. Then, the solver has to choose from random letters to complete the word within limited chances, if he is not able to guess the word the solver loses.  So, this is an interesting and challenging game, me and some of friends then decided to take this game as a course project. Now some of the skills to create hangman were outside our typical uses and skills for Python. It caused us to stretch and grow a bit. The purpose of this blog is two fold:

1. To share the hangman game with people who have nothing better to do than waste time on a childhood game and,
2. To share the learning experiences we had in creating the game

See ya in next article...

Further into the lists..

So, let's continue our learnings about the lists in python!      Why and how  to use list comprehension ? List is one of the most useful collection data type in python.It is a collection which is ordered and changeable.It Allows duplicate members.   Many of us would have thought of what if we want to manipulate each and every  list element? Suppose you are given a list of numbers and you want to add 1 to each element in your list: my_list = [1, 3, 3, 7] my_list_plus_one = my_list + 1  and if you have thought of some code like above then its not gonna  work. You would get this error:   TypeError : can only concatenate list (not "int") to list.  Python thinks that you want to add a list and an integer together, which doesn’t make any sense. So how do we manipulate the list? The answer is using list comprehension syntax. Example: my_list_plus_one = [num + 1 for num in my_list] print(my_list_plus_one)  # Output: [2, 4, 4, 8] Essentially...
