Hangman

My first program written in Rust.

Rules

• You get 10 lives.
• You will be shown a blanked out word and asked to guess a letter from the word.
• If your guess is incorrect, you lose a life.
• If your lives hit 0, you lose the game.
• If you guess all the letters in the word, you win the game.

Playing the game

Prerequisites

• Rust

Running the game

Ratatui game runner (default)

cargo run

Stdio game runner (original)

cargo run --no-default-features --features "stdio_game_runner"

Using a custom word list

You can replace the words list with a custom words list.

Note: you will need to rebuild the game to see this take effect.
