🎮 Python Hangman Game

A simple Hangman word guessing game built with Python.

This project was created as a beginner Python project to practice fundamental programming concepts such as loops, conditions, lists, user input, strings, and the random module.

📌 Features

• 🎲 Randomly selects a word from a word list
• ❤️ Player starts with 6 lives
• 🔤 Guess the word one letter at a time
• 🪦 Displays Hangman stages based on remaining lives
• ✅ Keeps track of correctly guessed letters
• ❌ Prevents losing a life for invalid multi-character input
• 🏆 Displays a win or lose message at the end

🛠️ Technologies

• Python 3
• random module

🚀 How to Run

Make sure Python 3 is installed on your computer.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Ramtinexe/python-hangman-game.git

Navigate to the project folder:

cd python-hangman-game

Run the program:

python main.py

🎮 How to Play

1. Run the program.
2. The game randomly selects a word.
3. Guess the word by entering one letter at a time.
4. Correct guesses reveal the letters.
5. Incorrect guesses reduce your remaining lives.
6. You win when you reveal all the letters.
7. You lose when all 6 lives are used.

📚 What I Practiced

This project helped me practice:

• Variables
• Lists
• Strings
• if, elif, and else
• for loops
• while loops
• input()
• len()
• .lower()
• .append()
• in and not in
• random.choice()
• f-strings

🔮 Future Improvements

Possible improvements for future versions:

• Add a larger word list
• Add different word categories
• Add a score system
• Add a replay option
• Add difficulty levels
• Improve input validation
• Add a graphical user interface
