Question

Create a simple commented C++ HANGMAN game using CLASSES using the following specifications:

- The game must keep track of the player misses
- It must ONLY use 10 three letter words
- It does NOT need a graphical implementation

Answer 1

/*main.cpp*/

#include "hangman.h"

using namespace std;

// declaring constants
typedef char String[MAX_WORD_SIZE];

// including implementation of cpp file

//Driver function
int main()
{
   const string fileName = "words.txt";
//Declaring object of Hangman class
Hangman obj;

char ch;

//Calling function to load words from file
obj.loadFile(fileName);
  
do
{
system("CLS");
cout<<"Hangman Game ";

//Function to start game
obj.runGame();

//Asking user for new game
cout<<"Do you want to play again (Y/N)? ";
cin>>ch;

}while(ch == 'Y' || ch =='y');
cout<<"Thanks for playing"<<endl;
return 0;
}
