Question

Write a Windows Program that plays a word guessing game of Hangman.

For this assignment, you are required to design and implement a user-friendly GUI using Java swing frames. This assignment mostly involves String processing. However, you are expected to use: formatting and commenting code, data validation, exception handling, modular design and hangman images to display the state and progress of the game.

Here are the requirements:

Computer picks a secret word that the user needs to guess. Use a fixed array of strings for a predetermined list of words (I will supply this)

Program displays as many dashes as there are letters in the secret word (let’s call this status indicator)

When the user guesses a letter, if that letter is in the secret word, all instances of that letter are filled in the status indicator. If this happens to be a failed guess, it is counted against the user, and, it is displayed in failed letter line (sorted). If the user guesses an already guessed letter, simply ignore it. Also, user can guess the entire word, if there is no match, this is counted as a guess. Don’t worry about displaying the incorrect word guesses.

Game ends when you user correctly guesses all letters in the secret word (successfully), or uses all 8 chances to guess a letter (hanged?).

Once the game ends, user should be able to restart a new game or exit.


Thank you all.
