The Whole Hangman Program

Here is the whole program from beginning to end:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import random import urllib

print 'time to play hangman' animals = urllib.urlopen('http://davidbau.com/data/animals').read().split() secret = random.choice(animals) guesses = 'aeiou' turns = 5

while turns > 0: missed = 0 for letter in secret: if letter in guesses: print letter, else: print '_', missed += 1

print

if missed == 0: print 'You win!' break

guess = raw_input('guess a letter: ') guesses += guess

if guess not in secret: turns -= 1 print 'Nope.' print turns, 'more turns' if turns < 5: print ' O ' if turns < 4: print ' \_|_/ ' if turns < 3: print ' | ' if turns < 2: print ' / \ ' if turns < 1: print ' d b ' if turns == 0: print 'The answer is', secret

More About Programming

The best part of programming is customizing your program to make it your own.

Can you make your hangman program harder or easier?

Can you make it automatically play again at the end of the game?
