This project is a Python-based implementation of the classic game Hangman. It includes a variety of features to enhance the gameplay experience.
The game supports two modes:
- Normal Mode: In this mode, the game behaves like a traditional game of Hangman. The player guesses one letter at a time, and if the letter is in the word, it is revealed in all its positions. If the letter is not in the word, it is added to a list of wrong guesses.
- Impossible Mode: This mode is still in development. It is designed to be a more challenging version of the game where the word to guess can change dynamically based on the player's guesses.
The game supports custom word lists. Word lists can be specified using the -w command line argument followed by the path to the word list file. If no word list is specified, the game defaults to a built-in word list.
The game supports both English and German languages. The language can be specified using the -l command line argument followed by the language code (en for English, de for German).
The project includes a visualization tool that displays a bar chart of letter frequencies in the remaining possible words. This tool is implemented using the Pygame library.
The project includes a bot that can play the game of Hangman. The bot uses a statistical approach to guess the most likely next letter based on the current state of the game.
To start the game, run the game.py script with Python 3. Command line arguments can be used to customize the game:
- -w : Specify custom word list.
- -l : Specify the language (en for English, de for German).
- -m : Specify the game mode (normal or impossible).
For example, to start a game in normal mode with a custom word list, you would run:
python3 game.py -m normal -w mywordlist.txt
To use the bot, run the_ bot.py_ script with Python 3. The bot will prompt you for the current state of the game and then make a guess. The bot can be run in a loop to play an entire game.
For example, to start the bot, you would run:
python3 bot.py
