 introDuction to the Game

Hangman is a guessing game for two or more players. One

player thinks of a word, phrase, or sentence and the other(s)
tries to guess it by suggesting letters or numbers within a
certain number of guesses. Originally a paper and pencil game,
there are now electronic versions. Though the origins of the
game are unknown, a variant is mentioned in a book of
children's games assembled by Alice Gomme in 1894 called
Birds, Beasts, and Fishes. This version lacks the image of a
hanged man, instead relying on keeping score as to the
number of attempts it took each player to fill in the blanks. The
word to guess is represented by a row of dashes representing
each letter or number of the word. Rules may permit or
forbid proper nouns, such as names, places, brands, or slang.
If the guessing player suggests a letter which occurs in the
word, the other player writes it in all its correct positions. If the
suggested letter does not occur in the word, the other player
adds (or alternatively, removes) one element of a hanged stick
figure as a tally mark. Generally, the game ends once the word
is guessed, or if the stick figure is complete signifying that all
guesses have been used.
The player guessing the word may, at any time, attempt to
guess the whole word. If the word is correct, the game is over
and the guesser wins. Otherwise, the other player may choose
to penalize the guesser by adding an element to the diagram. If
the guesser makes enough incorrect guesses to allow the other
player to complete the diagram, the guesser loses. However,
the guesser can also win by guessing all the letters that appear
in the word, thereby completing the word, before the diagram is
completed.

In python:
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.
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.The Game: Here, a
random word is picked up from our collection and the player
gets limited chances to win the game.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.

First, we will ask for the name of the user. We will take the user
input using the input () method. After execution, the input ()
method takes the input from the user and returns a string. Next,
we will select a word and ask the user to start guessing the
characters in the word.

We will also define the maximum number of attempts the user

can take.

Now, we will use a while loop to repeatedly ask the user to

guess the character until the attempts are exhausted.

Inside the while loop, if the user guesses the correct character.
We will include it in the response. Otherwise, we will notify the
user that they made a mistake.

If the user is able to guess all the characters of the word within
the maximum number of attempts, they win the game.

If the user exhausts all their attempts before guessing the entire
word, they lose.

The origins of Hangman are obscure meaning not discovered,
but it seems to have arisen in Victorian times, ” says Tony
Augadre, author of The Oxford Guide to Word Games. The
game is mentioned in Alice Bertha Gomme’s “Traditional
Games” in 1894 under the name “Birds, Beasts and Fishes.”
The rules are simple; a player writes down the first and last
letters of a word and another player guesses the letters in
between. In other sources, [where?] the game is called
“Gallows”, “The Game of Hanging”, or “Hanger”.

This is a simple Hangman game using Python programming

 system Development life
cycle

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) provides a well-

structured framework that gives an idea, of how to build a
system. It consists of steps as follows – Plan, Analyze, Design,
Develop, Implement and Maintain. In this article, we will see all
the stages of system development.

Important Topics for the System Development Life Cycle

• Stages (Phases) of System Development Life Cycle

o Stage 1: Plan
o Stage 2: Analyse
o Stage 3: Design
o Stage 4: Develop
o Stage 5: Implement
o Stage 6: Maintain
• How is System Development Life Cycle different from
System Design Life Cycle?
• Significance of System Design in System Development
Life Cycle

We will delve into the significance of each stage, emphasizing

the critical role played by System Design in the overall process.

Stages (Phases) of System Development Life Cycle

The System Development Life Cycle encompasses a series of

interconnected stages that ensure a systematic approach to
system development. The stages include Planning, Analysis,
Design, Development, Implementation, and Maintenance. Each
stage contributes to the successful completion of the system,
with System Design serving as a crucial component.

Stage 1: Plan

The Planning stage lays the groundwork for the entire SDLC. It
involves identifying the system’s goals, defining project scope,
setting objectives, establishing timelines, and determining
available resources. Planning ensures that the development
process aligns with organizational needs and sets a clear
direction for subsequent stages.

Stage 2: Analyse

During the Analysis stage, the focus is on gathering and

understanding the requirements of the system. This includes
conducting interviews, studying existing processes, and
identifying stakeholders’ needs. The gathered information
serves as a basis for designing a system that meets users’
expectations and addresses organizational challenges.
10
Stage 3: Design

System Design is a critical stage in the SDLC, where the

requirements gathered during the Analysis phase are translated
into a detailed technical plan. It involves designing the system’s
architecture, database structure, and user interface, and
defining system components. The Design stage lays the
foundation for the subsequent development and
implementation phases.

Stage 4: Develop

The Development stage involves the actual coding and

programming of the system. Based on the design
specifications, developers write code, create database
structures, and implement necessary functionalities. Rigorous
testing and quality assurance are performed to ensure the
system’s accuracy, performance, and adherence to the design
requirements.

Stage 5: Implement

This stage involves deploying the developed system into the

production environment. This includes activities such as system
installation, data migration, training end-users, and configuring
necessary infrastructure. Implementation requires careful
planning and coordination to minimize disruptions and ensure a
smooth transition from the old system to the new one.

Stage 6: Maintain

Maintenance is an ongoing stage that involves monitoring,

managing, and enhancing the system’s performance and
functionality. It includes activities such as bug fixes, updates,
security patches, and addressing user feedback. Regular
maintenance ensures the system remains reliable, secure, and
adaptable to changing business needs.

How is System Development Life Cycle different from System
Design Life Cycle?

Let’s explore the key differences between the System

Development Life Cycle and the System Design Life Cycle in a
more narrative form:

• Scope:

o System Development Life Cycle: Encompasses the

entire process of developing and managing an
information system, from initial planning to system
retirement and maintenance.

o System Design Life Cycle: Focuses specifically on

the design aspect within the broader System
Development Life Cycle. It deals with the detailed
planning and creation of system architecture,
components, and modules.

• Phases:

o System Development Life Cycle: Comprises

various phases, including planning, analysis, design,
implementation, and maintenance. Each phase
contributes to the overall development and
management of the system.

o System Design Life Cycle: Emphasizes phases

such as preliminary design, detailed design,
implementation, testing, and maintenance. The
primary focus is on the detailed planning and creation
of design specifications.

• Emphasis:

o System Development Life Cycle: Provides a

comprehensive framework for the entire system
development process. It addresses aspects beyond

12
 design, including user requirements, system
functionality, coding, and ongoing maintenance.

o System Design Life Cycle: Concentrates on the

design aspect, specifically creating detailed
specifications for system components, architecture,
and user interfaces. It places a strong emphasis on
the planning and structuring of the system.

• Objective:

o System Development Life Cycle: Aims to guide the

development process from the conceptualization of
the system to its implementation, testing,
deployment, and ongoing maintenance.

o System Design Life Cycle: Aims to create detailed

design specifications and plans that serve as a
blueprint for the development team. It focuses on
translating high-level requirements into actionable
design elements.

• Involvement:

o System Development Life Cycle: Involves a wide

range of stakeholders, including users, business
analysts, developers, testers, and maintenance
personnel, across various phases of the life cycle.

o System Design Life Cycle: Primarily involves

designers, architects, and developers in the creation
of detailed design specifications and plans.
Collaboration with other stakeholders occurs, but the
emphasis is on the design team.

• Iterations and Feedback:

o System Development Life Cycle: Embraces an

iterative approach with feedback loops to
accommodate changes and improvements
13
 throughout the life cycle. Users and stakeholders are
involved in providing continuous feedback.

o System Design Life Cycle: Is also iterative, with the

design evolving based on feedback from testing,
integration, and the need for design adjustments.

• Output:

o System Development Life Cycle: Outputs a fully

developed, tested, and maintained information
system that meets user requirements and business
objectives.

o System Design Life Cycle: Outputs detailed design

specifications, architectural plans, and guidelines that
serve as a basis for the development team to
implement and test the system.

• Timeframe:

o System Development Life Cycle: Spans the entire

life cycle of the system, and the timeframe can vary
from months to years, depending on the complexity
of the project.

o System Design Life Cycle: Focuses on the design

within shorter timeframes, as part of the broader
system development process.

In essence, while System Development Life Cycle provides a

holistic view of the system development process, System
Design Life Cycle narrows its focus to the detailed planning and
creation of the system’s design components. Both are integral
to successful system development, with the latter playing a
crucial role in translating high-level requirements into actionable
design elements.
