Hang Mane Word Game

• • 

The user tries to guess letters in - a secret word list and loses after guesses that are not in the word. The - user guesses a letter by clicking a button whose text is that letter.

The remaining chance of guesses are calculated as follows:

Remaining chance = Number of the characters in the word / 2

For example;

Consider the random word is Compression Remaining chance = 11 / 2 This is equal to 5.5

You will round this number as 5

GUI of the Game

The Game contains a menu bar that contains two menu items File and Options.

1- File Menu Bar

• New game option: will start a new game by selecting a random word from the word database. The word file is explained below.
• Save game option: will save the current game. When the user selects the save game option, a file chooser appears in order to get the save file name. You will define your own save file format and save the file with *.sav extension.
• Load game option: will load a saved game. When the user selects load game option, a file chooser appears. In this file chooser, you will add a filter for extension. This filter will extract *.sav files from other file formats.
• Exit option: will quit the game, but before it will ask from user if s/he really wants to quit. Also, it's an offer to save the game.

2- Options Menu Bar

• Option: A new frame should appear. In this frame, user can configure game properties, and it's the setting of the game.

How to use it?

This application gets the words from a text file. This file contains “*.db” extension. I was free to design my own database file. However, I have put at least 20 words into the database. When the game starts, the application will select a random word from the database. During gameplay, when the user clicks on one of the letters on the frame, the clicked button will be disabled in order to avoid using the same letter again. This rule is also valid for saved games.

Here is an example:

Assume that the word was Application.

• User pressed on A letter. (This letter should become disabled.)
• User pressed on L letter. (This letter should become disabled.)
• User pressed on X letter. (This letter should become disabled.)
• User pressed on O letter. (This letter should become disabled.)
• User saved the game.
• User loaded the same game.
• At this point, A, L, X, O letters will be disabled.

If the user may guess what the word is, the application provides a text field to enter the word. If s/he is right, a dialog box appears, that indicates the player has won the game. Otherwise, the player has lost the game.
