I think the point is, in order to teach something, you have to understand it yourself. So taking source code you didn't write (and maybe don't understand) and trying to teach others what it does and why it does it, is probably not the best of ideas.

Even without that in mind, I doubt anyone will simply write you a hangman game, but we would be more than happy to assist you to write your own [smile]

All the best,
ViLiO

I thought these types of questions were against the rules of Gamedev, or at least don't belong in this forum.

No, they're about homework AFAIK, but I don't think anyone thought about a teacher asking for that kind of "help" in here :P

That's not a too bad start (although there is at least two fatal mistakes).

So, there you have a couple of lines, just keep adding the lines, and if you get any problems after you're done, we'll gladly help you out.

If you know how the logic in a Hangman game should work (either in another language or in pseudo-code) then it's just syntax wrangling from here on out.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually teach?

My guess is that the OP is actually a student in the class and has been assigned to write the hangman prog. He is posing as the instructor to try and circumvent the gamedev rules.
