Hangman Game

Welcome to the Hangman game! This is a simple Python implementation of the classic word-guessing game that allows you to input any word or phrase you want to play with.

Features

• Play with any word or phrase.
• Visual representation of the hangman for each incorrect guess.
• Keeps track of the guessed letters.
• Allows for a maximum of 6 incorrect attempts.

How to Run the Game

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system. You can download it from python.org.

Steps to Execute

1. Clone or Download the Repository: Download the Hangman game code to your local machine.

2. Create a Python File:

   • Open a text editor (like Notepad, Visual Studio Code, or any IDE you prefer).
   • Copy the Hangman game code and paste it into the editor.
   • Save the file as hangman.py.

3. Open Terminal:

   • Open the terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on macOS or Linux).

4. Navigate to the Directory:

   • Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you saved the hangman.py file. For example:

     cd path/to/your/directory

5. Run the Python File:

   • In the terminal, type the following command and hit Enter:

     python hangman.py

   • If you're using Python 3 and the command above doesn’t work, try:

     python3 hangman.py

6. Input Word or Phrase:

   • When prompted, enter a word or phrase you want to use for the Hangman game. Spaces will be replaced with underscores for the game display.

7. Guess Letters:

   • Enter one letter at a time to guess the word or phrase. The game will track your guesses and display the current state of the word or phrase, along with the hangman graphic.

Game Rules

• You have 6 attempts to guess the word or phrase correctly.
• If you guess a letter that is not in the word or phrase, you lose an attempt.
• The game ends when you either guess the word or phrase completely or run out of attempts.
