Hangman Game in C

The C programming language is used in the creation of The Hangman Game In C With Source Code. Guessing the letters (A-Z) that make up the words in this hangman game written in C is the goal. A hangman game requires the player to guess one letter at a time in order to finish a missing word.

After a certain number of wrong guesses, the player loses and the hangman game finishes. The game is also ended if the player correctly guesses every letter in the title that is lacking. This project's design is simple and clear, making it simple for users to understand, use, and navigate.

All the necessary library has taken into the code

char * decrypt ( char * code ) {
	int hash = ( ( strlen ( code ) - 3 ) / 3 ) + 2 ;
	char * decrypt = malloc ( hash ) ;
	char * toFree = decrypt ;
	char * word = code ;
	for ( int ch = * code ; ch ! = ' \ 0 ' ; ch = * ( + + code ) )
	{
		if ( ( code - word + 2 ) % 3  = = 1 ) {
			* ( decrypt + + ) = ch - ( word - code + 1 ) - hash ;
		}
	}
	* decrypt = ' \ 0 ' ;
	return toFree ;
}

Abouve code will generate using a hash function, which will check the alphabet.

void printBody ( int mistakes , char * body ) {
	printf ( " \ t Mistakes : % d \ n " , mistakes ) ;
	switch ( mistakes ) {

		case 6 : body [ 6 ] = ' \ \ ' ; break ;
		case 5 : body [ 5 ] = ' / ' ; break ;
		case 4 : body [ 4 ] = ' \ \ ' ; break ;
		case 3 : body [ 3 ] = ' | ' ; break ;
		case 2 : body [ 2 ] = ' / ' ; break ;
		case 1 : body [ 1 ] = ' ) ' , body [ 0 ] = ' ( ' ; break ;
		default : break ;

	}

	printf ( " \ t _________ \ n "
	       " \ t |         | \ n "
	       " \ t |        % c % c \ n "
	       " \ t |        % c % c % c \ n "
	       " \ t |        % c % c \ n "
	       " \ t |             \ n "
	       " \ t |             " , body [ 0 ] , body [ 1 ] , body [ 2 ] ,
	       body [ 3 ] , body [ 4 ] , body [ 5 ] , body [ 6 ] ) ;
}

The above code will print the body of the man.

void printWord ( char * guess , int len ) {
	printf ( " \ t " ) ;
	for ( int i = 0 ; i < len ; + + i )
	{
		printf ( " % c " , guess [ i ] ) ;
	}
	printf ( " \ n \ n " ) ;
}

The above code will print the word.
