Hangman Game

This is a simple console-based Hangman game written in C++. The game selects a random word from a provided text file, and the player has to guess the word letter by letter. The player has a limited number of incorrect guesses before they lose the game.

Components

• Game.h: Contains the declaration of the Game class, which handles the game logic, displays, and user interactions.
• Game.cpp: Implements the Game class methods, including gameplay logic, displaying hangman stages, and game status.
• WordProvider.h: Declares the WordProvider class, which manages loading words from a file and providing random words.
• WordProvider.cpp: Implements the WordProvider class methods for loading words from a file and generating random words.
• main.cpp: Entry point of the application that initializes the WordProvider and Game classes and starts the game.

Dependencies

• Compiler: Ensure you have a C++ compiler like GCC or MinGW installed.
• C++ Standard: The code is compatible with C++11 and later.

Compilation

To compile the project, run:

g++ main.cpp Game.cpp WordProvider.cpp -o hangman

Usage

1. Prepare the Word List: Create a text file named words.txt in the same directory. Each line should contain one word.

2. Run the Game: Execute the compiled binary:

   ./hangman

3. Play: Follow the on-screen instructions to guess the word. You will be given a certain number of attempts to guess the word correctly.
