Hangman

This is a command line game application inspired by Hangman which is a word skill game that teaches basic language skills. This game is between the computer and one human player. The computer will act as the selecting plater and will select the word to guess, process human input and handle all output. The human player is the guessing player, simply referred to as the player. When the player knows the word, they continue to guess correct letters until the word is complete.

You can change the words the game will select in the words.txt file with a different choice of words.
