Hangman (word game) that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Built with Ruby and Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Prerequisite-Free Ruby Desktop Development Cross-Platform Native GUI Library) using Application Scaffolding.
Implementation started at the RubyConf 2024 Hack Day Event for Glimmer DSL for LibUI, which was connected to the RubyConf 2024 workshop "How To Build Basic Desktop Applications in Ruby".
Assuming you have Ruby installed (standard MRI / CRuby).
Run:
gem install glimmer_hangman
Run:
glimmer_hangman
or just:
hangman
The goal of the game is to guess a word by typing letters on the keyboard one by one, with 10 guesses max.
As each letter is typed, the blanks are replaced with letters that gradually reveal the word being guessed if the typed letter is a correct part of the word, with multiple occurrences if any (e.g typing E shows E twice in a word that has it twice like RECOGNIZED).
Or otherwise, the drawing at the top shows more parts of the scene of execution by hanging if the typed letter is incorrect.
Also, typed letters show up at the bottom of the screen as green (correct) or (red) incorrect.
The game is won once the correct word is guessed completely.
The game is lost once the stick figure is fully hung (10 guessed letters are incorrect).
Restart game by:
- Keyboard Shortcut: CMD+R on Mac or CTRL+R on Windows/Linux
- Menu Item: Game -> Restart
