Question
Make a "hangman" game with the following stipulations (1) Create an internal dictionary of words and phrases; include at least 20 valid entries, each with at least 8 characters (excluding blank spaces). There should be at least five phrases. Store dictionary as an array of pointers to strings. (2) Randomly choose word from dictionary and prompt user to guess one character at a time. Each letter in the word or phrase is initially displayed as an asterisk; for phrases, show the non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., commas). When the user makes a correct guess, the actual character is displayed. (3) Include appropriate help messages, e.g., inform user when the chosen character is not in the word/phrase, and when the user has already chosen this character before. (4) When the user finishes the word or phrase, display statistics regarding the number of hits and misses. (5) At the end of one round of the game, user can decide either to terminate the game or to play one more round of the game.
