INTRODUCTION

This mini project is about a classic word guessing game called HANGMAN where the user
is given a word by the system and he has to guess it within the given number of chances . If
he does it then the user wins the game and he can go to the next levels. The main objective of
our mini project is it provides entertainment for the user without the help of internet. The
interesting aspect is that it has pictorial output for the easy go of the user.

IMPLEMENTATION & CODING

Since HANGMAN is a word guessing game, it can be used to improve the vocabulary skills
of the user .The coding goes as follows.
The system gives the word to be guessed from the set of pre defined words by using
the randomize function and asks for the guess of the user and takes it as a string and stores
the length of the original word that has been given and checks the word entered by the user
with the given word .The mistakes made by the user in guessing the word can be counted and
incremented using the variable mistakes. If the number of mistakes reaches the MAXGUESS
then the user has to quit the game after the respective pictorial output for each mistake done.
All this is done in the module PRINTMISTAKES. The user can decide to continue the game
or not in the PLAYGAME module.

CONCLUSION & SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK

The future work in this game can be done to improvise the pictorial output and see to that the
user enjoys the game as much as he can.

ABSTRACT
Hangman is a classical game which doesnt require a game board or
anything else except a pen paper and a pencil. In this game the system picks up a
word and the user tries to guess the letters in the word in the given number of
chances. If the user succeeds in guessing the word given by the system in the given
number of chances he gains a point. And hence the user can switch on to the next
word.
We now, write a program in C++ on the game HANGMAN, using three (3)
modules. Operating system that is being used for this mini project is Windows XP
and the hardware details are Pentium 4,512 MB RAM and 80GB hard disk.
