Overall Design

• Introduce the game menu• Prompts user for a difficulty level from 1 – 5• User selects difficulty level• Difficulty level triggers a random number to pick from 10 words and

stores it in that word in the secret_word string– (5 Difficulty Levels, 10 words per level, 50 words)

• display_word character array is created based upon the length of secret_word and is comprised of only blanks

• Prints out a picture based on how many wrong guesses the user has from the picture function

• Prompts user for a guess which is stored in letter• letter_check checks whether the letter entered is in secret_word and

puts it into display_word and updates it• Then it loops and lets the user guess again…

Functions explained:

1. void introduction()

2. void pick_difficulty()

3. void make_display_word()

4. void picture()

5. void letter_check()

6. void guess_a_letter()

void introduction()

• This function simply does what it looks like it would – it introduces the program and displays the main menu

void pick_difficulty()

• This function also does what it looks like it would – it prompts the user for the difficulty level that the user wants to try and play at– The difficulty directly relates to the size of the word

being chosen• Level 1 = easy short words

↨• Level 5 = longer harder words

– The difficulty chosen will then correlate to the set of the 10 words that a random number will choose inside the function

void make_display_word()

• The for loop allows this function to display underscores with spaces in between them corresponding to the size of the secret_word chosen in pick_difficulty

void picture()

• This function does what it might appear to do – it outputs the correct picture corresponding to the wrong_guess_count the user has at the current time

void letter_check()

• This function is labeled letter_check since the function checks whether or not the letter guess the user chooses is in the secret_word string– If the function figures out that the letter is in fact in the

secret_word, then it places it in the character array where it belongs

• It does this by utilizing flags and changing their values

– If not, then the function does nothing with the display_word array and increments the wrong_guess_count integer

void guess_a_letter()

• This function like the rest of the functions in the project does what it looks like it might – it asks the user to choose a letter from the alphabet to see if its in the secret_word

Problems Experienced:

• random_number was not actually random– The number was always 1, or 41– Therefore, the first case was always chosen

rather then randomly choosing a case for each difficulty level

• We initially didn’t have globals set so certain functions were not given access to the maximum guess count that we initially set as well as the current users wrong guess count
