The Designing Strategy

This post is about the step by step algorithm or we can also call it as pseudo code that we are going to implement to design the game...

•Ask for number of attempts
•Ask for minimum word length
• Open the word list file & select a random word
•Create a set of remaining letters and initialize it to contain the 26 ASCII lowercase character 
•While there are attempts remaining OR there are unguessed letters in the word remaining
Print the word with the unguessed letters censored
•Ask for the next letter and make it lowercase
If the "letter" has multiple characters
Notify the player that the "letter" has multiple characters
Else if the letter is not an ASCII lowercase character
Notify the player that the letter is not an ASCII lowercase character
Else if the letter is not in the remaining letter set (i.e. has been guessed before)
Notify the player that the letter has been guessed before
Else
If letter is in the word
Notify the player that the letter is in the word
Else
Decrement attempt counter
•Notify the player that the letter is not in the word
Remove guessed letter from the remaining letters setPrint the word with the unguessed letters censored
•Ask for the next letter and make it lowercaseIf the "letter" has multiple characters
Notify the player that the "letter" has multiple characters
Else if 
the letter is not an ASCII lowercase characterNotify the player that the letter is not an ASCII lowercase character
Else if
 the letter is not in the remaining letter set (i.e. has been guessed before)Notify the player that the letter has been guessed before
ElseIf
 letter is in the wordNotify the player that the letter is in the wordElse
Decrement attempt counter
•setReveal the word
If the word is solved
Notify the player of victory
Else
Notify the player of defeat
Give the player the option to try again

The game will be developed using the algorithm referred from a blog visit here and we will be following the same line. Thanks to the creator of the blog!

Thank you ,

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...

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 solutio...
