🔖 Background Information
Hangman is a two-player game where one player thinks of a word and another player tries to guess it letter by letter. However, the guessing player only has a certain number of guesses available before they lose. It is called Hangman because traditionally, every time player two misses a guess, player one draws another part of a dead stick figure. Side note, it is really morbid to explain the rules of this kid’s game…
🎯 Problem Statement
The goal of this activity is to improve on the work that we completed in Hangman: Part 1. We are going to add:
- Validations to the input for player two
- Blank space to hide the word that player one entered
✅ Acceptance Criteria
Update your code with the following features:
- After player one enters a word, print out many new line characters to effectively “hide” the input from player two as the cursor scrolls down the terminal.
- Add validations to make sure that player two only enters one character that has not been guessed before.
📋 Dev Notes
- It might be helpful to use one or more arrays in this solution.
