Hangman Game

This document contains the code for a Hangman game program written in Java. It includes: 1) A main method that initializes variables like a random access file and scanner, welcomes the player, and calls methods to play the game and ask if they want to replay. 2) A PlayGame method that handles gameplay - getting a random word, displaying guesses/body parts, checking letters, updating the hidden word, and ending if won/lost. 3) A CarryOn method to ask the player if they want to replay, and set replay to true/false based on their input.
