Hangman Game

Introduction

Welcome to the Hangman Game! This project is a Rust implementation of the classic word guessing game, developed by a Java developer (yours truly) to explore new technologies and broaden my programming horizons.

Hangman is a fun and interactive game where players try to guess a hidden word by suggesting letters. With this Rust version, you can experience the thrill of Hangman while also getting a taste of Rust's performance and expressive power.

Features

• Random word selection: The game selects a word from a pre-defined list of words, ensuring each game is unique.
• User input: Enter your guesses by typing a letter and pressing enter. The game will inform you if the letter is correct or not.
• Feedback and scoring: The game provides feedback on the correctness of each guess and maintains a score based on your performance.

To get started with the Hangman Game, follow these steps:

1. Prerequisites: Make sure you have Rust installed on your system. If you don't have it, you can download it from the official Rust website: rust-lang.org.
