I have trouble here.
In the Hangman Game (Python) .
What is the part of this code that makes this:?
For example:
(The Secret Word is "door")
_ _ _ r
Guess the letter: o
_ o o r <---puts 2 times the letter "o"
Here is the code:

Thank you guys :)
This part right here:

I'm trying to create a hangman game with python. I know there is still a lot to complete but I'm trying to figure out the main component of the game which is how to compare the user inputted string (one letter) with the letters in one of the three randomly selected words.
import random
print("Welcome to hangman,guess the five letter word")
words =["china", "ducks", "glass"]
correct_word = (random.choice(words))
guess = input(str("Enter your guess:"))
guess_left = 10
guess_subtract = 1
if guess == "":
guess_left = guess_left - guess_subtract
print("you have" + guess_left + "guesses left")
I think you need a skeleton and then spend some time to improve the game.
import random
print "Welcome to hangman, guess the five letter word"
words = ["china", "ducks", "glass"]
correct_word = (random.choice(words))
trials = 10
for trial in range(trials):
guess = str(raw_input("Enter character: "))
if (len(guess) > 1):
print "You are not allowed to enter more than one character at time"
continue
if guess in correct_word:
print "Well done! '" + guess + "' is in the list!"
else:
print "Sorry " + guess + " does not included..."
Your next step could be print out something like c_i__ as well as the number of trials left. Have fun :)
When you finish with the implementation, take some time and re-implement it using functions.
I've completed this project yesterday; (to anyone else reading this question) take inspiration if needed.

What you can do is treat the string like an array/list.
So if you use loops:
x = ""#let's assume this is the users input
for i in range(len(y)): #y is the string your checking against
if x == y[i]:
from here what I'm thinking is that if they are equal it would add that letter to a string
Let's say the string is "Today was fun" then would have an array like this, [""."" and so on but you'd have to find a way to factor in spaces and apostrophes. So if the letter is == to that part of the string
#this is a continuation of the code, so under if
thearray[theposition] == the letter
But looking a your code your game is diffrent from the regular one so, also consider using a while look
gamewon = False
number of trials = 10
while gamewon == False and number of trials > 0:
#the whole checking process
if x == guess:
gamewon == True
print ........# this is if your doing word for word else use
the code above
else:
number of trials = number of trials - 1
I think that's it I know its a bit all over the place but you can always ask for help and I'll explain plus I was referring to your code things i thought you could fix
First you should accept both a and A by using guess = guess.lower(). The you have to search the string for the character guessed and find the positions.
guess = guess.lower()
# Find the position(s) of the character guessed
pos = [idx for idx,ch in enumerate(correct_word) if ch == guess]
if pos:
print('Letter Found')
guess_left -= 1
Another way to understand the for-loop is:
pos = []
for idx,ch in enumerate(correct_word):
if ch == guess:
pos.append(idx)
I tried to add graphics to my code for a hangman game. The graphics didn't appeared and when you guess a letter it automatically says that the game is over. I am not sure what is wrong as I am very new to python and coding.

start = str(input("Welcome to Hangman!"))
failures = 0
allowed = 6
guesses_left = 6
guessed = str()
wordlist = ['kittens' , 'keen', 'right', 'square', 'baseball','soccer', 'square','house', 'safe', 'pizza', 'pasta', 'Loyola', 'cat', 'dog', 'rambler', 'Chicago', 'Pittsburgh']
def correct(guess):
if guess in word:
if guess not in guessed:
print("Correct")
return(True)
else:
if guess not in word and len(guess) == 1 and guess in 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ':
if guess not in guessed:
print("Incorrect!")
return(False)
print("Guess this word!")
print("You can input any letter from A to Z and the space key.")
wordnumber = random.randint(0, len(wordlist))
word = (wordlist[wordnumber])
guessed_letters = len(word) * ['_']
print(' '.join(guessed_letters))
while failures < allowed:
guess = str(input("Guess a letter!"))
if len(guess) != 1 or guess not in 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ':
print("That is not a letter, try again.")
if guess in guessed:
print("You have already guessed that letter, try again.")
iscorrect = correct(guess)
guessed = guessed, guess
if iscorrect == True:
for position, letter in enumerate(word):
if letter == guess:
guessed_letters[position] = letter
print(' '.join(guessed_letters))
if iscorrect == False:
print("Wrong!")
failures = failures+1
guesses_left -= 1 # Number of guesses left
print("You have", guesses_left , "guesses left.")
if (guessed_letters == word):
print('''
You have successfully guessed the word!
''')
else:
print('''
You have lost the game!
''')
break
The reason the game exists is due to a break that is called at the end of the very first loop. The else should also be based on the condition that there are no guesses left:
if (guessed_letters == word):
print('''
You have successfully guessed the word!
''')
break
elif not guesses_left:
print('''
You have lost the game!
''')
break
Regarding the "graphics". This can be printed each time you get a wrong answer. And I recommend using if/else instead of two ifs here:
if iscorrect == True:
for position, letter in enumerate(word):
if letter == guess:
guessed_letters[position] = letter
print(' '.join(guessed_letters))
else:
print("Wrong!")
failures = failures+1
guesses_left -= 1 # Number of guesses left
print(Graphics[6-guesses_left])
print("You have", guesses_left , "guesses left.")
Graphics[6-guesses_left] means go look up the index in Graphics that is equal to the original number of guesses (6), minus the number of remaining guesses.
So I'm working on inventwithpython, and I'm on the hangman 2 chapter. But when the game starts, it's already at the 7th strike hangman picture. I'm not sure where the problem is. Here is my code:

(To explain more about my problem:) So when you start the game, the hangman image should be the first picture in HANGMANPICS, but instead, it's the last picture in HANGMANPICS. I do have a feeling the problem in on print(HANGMANPICS[len(HANGMANPICS) -1]) but may not be there either. All help would be appreciated!
Yes, that's the problem. You specifically tell it to print the last element of the file. Instead, use the length of the missed letters list.
print(HANGMANPICS[len(missedLetters)])
With that change, it seems to work pretty well.

I have created a hangman game in python 3. The game is working fine. The letters are working fine. Everything is working fine. There is one thing that is bothering me. After I type the wrong word, the ascii drawing is not updating. It is still on the first drawing though the life gets reduced. It is made for five chances and after five attempts player gets killed. The drawing is not updating.
I am doing lessons from invent with python.

# should be
missedLetters = missedLetters + guess
^
Also:
# You have
... + ' correct guesses , the word was ' + secretword + '!')
# should be
... + ' correct guesses , the word was ' + secretWord + '!')

The first issue was causing your board not to update -- the second one caused it not run (for me).

In the second function displayBoard, 4 parameters are passed. I understand HANGMANPICS, missedLetters and secretWord, but I don't understand where the argument for correctLetters is defined/substituted.
In layman's term (as I am a newbie), where does it say what correctLetters should do? I have been studying this game for a week now, and so far everything seems Ok, except this one.
Please help.
correctLetters is initialized in this line:
correctLetters = ''
and appended to inside the while loop that contains the bulk of the game logic:
if guess in secretWord:
correctLetters = correctLetters + guess
It is used to keep track of correctly guessed letters, and passed to displayBoard so that they can be shown on screen.
As an aside, since white space is important in Python code, it's worth formatting your question correctly.
Doing a quick keyword search for correctLetters you can see it is described as a string. In the function displayBoard you can see it used on line 78.
if secretWord[i] in correctLetters:
blanks = blanks[:i] + secretWord[i] + blanks[i+1:]
It is being used to put in the letter instead of a blank if the user has guessed that letter.
It is described on one of the bullets here
It's usage is explained here
