Hangman is a terminal game made in Python.

When we discussed ideas, we tried to extend what we considered to be a “basic hangman game” and developed ideas that other games contained. For example, most games feature a username and a score feature so we created a scoreboard. We also developed further on the idea of ASCII Art into ASCII Animation. Also, another idea we thought of was the process of deleting each screen and reprinting, giving a smooth transition most, if not all, modern games possess. What helped a lot for this project was that we had the exact same partner. Moreso, we could import functions that we had made for the Text Adventure Project. This benefitted us extremely well as we had faced, and overcame, most of the difficulties during the last creation, i.e. colored text and terminal manipulation. Similarly to our Text Adventure Project after we discussed the design, we each worked on a separate portion of the project simultaneously; this dynamic partnership created the perfect balance and efficiency for the completion of the tasks. Additionally, a very important aspect, as well as it may be obvious and have been said for the Text Adventure Project, that was critical for our Hangman Game was communication. We used Discord to communicate, log each change we made in the Project Notebook and reported each other of bugs, possible bugs that have yet to be tested, and more detailed description of feature we plan to or have implemented in our game.
