Manhang is an implementation of the popular game (you guessed it) Hangman. The game consists of guessing a word that another player, the computer in this case, has selected. For this implementation, the user will have 6 chances to guess the word. The user will have the ability to select a new word and to select whether to play with phrases instead of words. Correct or missed selections will be displayed with the green or red color respectively.
Node.js is required in order to run the application locally. To install Node, follow the istrunctions at the downloads page.

Ability to choose from either word or phrase mode.
