 ABSTRACT

This is a simple Hangman game using Python programming language. We can use this as a
small project to boost their programming skills and understanding logic. The Hangman program
randomly selects a secret word from a list of secret words. The random module will provide this
ability, so line 1 in program imports it. Hangman is a popular word game in which one player
(the "chooser") chooses a secret word and another player (the "guesser") attempts to guess the
word one letter at a time. If a guessed letter appears in the word, all instances of it are
revealed. If not, the guesser loses a chance. If the guesser figures out the secret word before
he or she runs out of chances, he or she wins. If not, the player who chose the word win s.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.1. Python Programming language
Python is one of the many open source object oriented programming application software
available in the market . Python is developed by Guido van Rossum. Guido van Rossum
started implementing Python in 1989. Python is a very simple programming language so even
if you are new to programming, you can learn python without facing any issues. Some of the
many uses of Python are application development, implementation of automation testing
process, allows multiple programming build, fully constructed programming library, can be
used in all the major operating systems and platforms, database system accessibility, simple
and readable code, easy to apply on complex software development processes, aids in test
driven software application development approach, machine learning/ data analytics, helps
pattern recognitions, supported in multiple tools, permitted by many of the provisioned
frameworks, etc.
Some features of Python are-

 Hangman Game

1. Readable: Python is a very readable language.

2. Easy to Learn: Learning python is easy as this is a expressive and high level programming
language, which means it is easy to understand the language and thus easy to learn.

3. Cross platform: Python is available and can run on various operating systems such as Mac,
Windows, Linux, Unix etc. This makes it a cross platform and portable language.

4. Open Source: Python is a open source programming language.

5. Large standard library: Python comes with a large standard library that has some handy codes
and functions which we can use while writing code in Python.

6. Free: Python is free to download and use. This means you can download it for free and use it in
your application. See: Open Source Python License. Python is an example of a FLOSS (Free/Libre
Open Source Software), which means you can freely distribute copies of this software, read its source
code and modify it.

7. Supports exception handling: If you are new, you may wonder what is an exception? An
exception is an event that can occur during program exception and can disrupt the normal flow of
program. Python supports exception handling which means we can write less error prone code and can
test various scenarios that can cause an exception later on.

8. Advanced features: Supports generators and list comprehensions. We will cover these features
later.

9. Automatic memory management: Python supports automatic memory management which means
the memory is cleared and freed automatically

1.2. Applications of Python programming language

Python can be used to develop different applications like web applications, graphic user interface
based applications, software development application, scientific and numeric applications, network
programming, Games and 3D applications and other business applications. It makes an interactive
interface and easy development of applications.You may be wondering what all are the applications of
Python. There are so many applications of Python, here are some of the them.

1. Web development – Web framework like Django and Flask are based on Python. They help you
write server side code which helps you manage database, write backend programming logic, mapping
urls etc.

2. Machine learning – There are many machine learning applications written in Python. Machine
learning is a way to write a logic so that a machine can learn and solve a particular problem on its
own. For example, products recommendation in websites like Amazon, Flipkart, eBay etc. is a
machine learning algorithm that recognises user’s interest. Face recognition and Voice recognition in
your phone is another example of machine learning.

3. Data Analysis – Data analysis and data visualisation in form of charts can also be developed using
Python.

4. Scripting – Scripting is writing small programs to automate simple tasks such as sending automated
response emails etc. Such type of applications can also be written in Python programming language.

5. Game development – You can develop games using Python.

6. You can develop Embedded applications in Python.

7. Desktop applications – You can develop desktop application in Python using library like TKinter or
QT.

CHAPTER 3

IMPLEMENTATION AND RESULTS

3.1 About Project

This is a simple Hangman game using Python programming language. Beginners can use this as a
small project to boost their programming skills and understanding logic.

1. The Hangman program randomly selects a secret word from a list of secret words. The random
module will provide this ability, so line 1 in program imports it.
2. The Game: Here, a random word (a fruit name) is picked up from our collection and the player
gets limited chances to win the game.
3. When a letter in that word is guessed correctly, that letter position in the word is made visible. In
this way, all letters of the word are to be guessed before all the chances are over.
4. For convenience, we have given length of word + 2 chances. For example, word to be guessed is
mango, then user gets 5 + 2 = 7 chances, as mango is a five letter word.

3.2 Project code

import random
import datetime

dict = open("dict.txt", "r+")

rec = open("records.txt", "r+")
board = open("leaderboard.txt", "r+")

words = []
record = []
lead = []

tp = ls = lt = 0

for item in dict:

words.append(item.strip('\n'))
record=[line.strip() for line in rec]
for item in board:
lead.append(item.strip(' ').split(','))

CONCLUSION
In the conclusion of this project, Hangman is a traditional game, typically played with words. It’s
possible, however, to play Category Hangman rather than guessing words the player might guess
names of cities, or athletes, or fictional characters, or Duke professors, or top forty song titles the list is
endless. You’ll be writing a program to play a “guess a word letter-by-letter” version of hangman as
shown above. You’ll also be doing some statistical analysis of the words used in the Hangman game.
