To play the game, you need to download and run the pre-compiled executable for your operating system.
- A compatible operating system (Linux).
-
Download: Get the latest executable the itch.io page.
-
Navigate: Open your terminal or command prompt and go to the directory where you downloaded the executable.
-
Execute: Run the game using the appropriate command for your system:
.\hangman
Follow the on-screen instructions to guess the hidden word.
- Choose whether you want to play the 1 person or 2 person version
- If you chose the 2 person version, the guesser will have to look away for the writer to input the phrase
- If you chose the 1 person version the game will start
- You will see a series of dashes - representing the letters in the word.
- You have a 10 incorrect guesses at the start.
- Type a single letter and press
Enter. - If your guess is correct, the letter will be revealed in the word.
- If your guess is incorrect, a part of the hangman will be drawn, and you will get closer to losing.
- The game ends when you guess all of the correct letters or the hangman is fully drawn.
If you wish to compile the game yourself (perhaps to contribute or run on an unsupported platform), you will need a C++ compiler (like g++ testing but others will likely work).
