Hangman Styled Game "Guess the Word"

[awhite92]

was bored, so i threw this together, took just a few hours collectively.
it has over 800 words starting at 3 letters in length (surprisingly hard lol) and can easily be changed, just check the 'res' folder.

it selects a random word every time you start a new game.
its not the prettiest, but its functional and addictive
doesn't use the mouse at all.

oh, and there is no "hangman", i was to lazy

PS: i know its been a long time since i've last posted, super busy with college

wow that's very cool!
it has a clean interface and is very easy to use

it might be cool to spruce it up with more graphics and score or timer, etc... but it's nice because it's very bare bones... so I'm not sure?

For the fun of it I added to my copy:
=> in love.load

Code: Select all

hangman = {
	function() gr.line(440,220,440,230) end,
	function() gr.line(440,230,430,240) end,
	function() gr.line(440,230,450,240) end,
	function() gr.line(440,220,430,230) end,
	function() gr.line(440,220,450,230) end,
	function() gr.line(440,220,445,210) end,
	function() gr.circle('fill',448,210,10)end,
	function() gr.line(440,210,440,170) end,
	function() gr.line(440,170,480,170) end,
	function() gr.line(480,170,480,270) end
	}

and in love.draw:

Code: Select all

for i = 1, 10 - triesLeft do hangman[i]() end

Not great, but adds some interest.
Sure you can do better.
Best!

i see what you did there, if i would've known it was that easy i mite have implemented something like it sooner
ill see what i can put together, thanks for the idea

i plan on changing up the start screen, and if i do decide to add an actual "hangman" then there will be a slight change to the "in game" screen, i mite even add something to differ from the top (the underscores and word you are trying to guess) and the keyboard layout panel, (like a different background).

i tried it, and it freezes for me. i don't know if it works on 'french' systems, but if it does, thank you kind sir

and thanks to anyone who has given it a try
let me know if 10 wrong guesses is to much, or to little, sometimes it seems super hard, then too easy lol

If fact, it takes forever to load because of the 1mo texte-file :/
