[@braddaily8688]

@@littlesheep8644 2 months late, but, if you're still stuck on this, he 1: split up the individual letters of word into a separate list word_as_list using list(word) 2: used the enumerate function, which returns the index value and letter for each character of a string, as a list of tuples ex: ( for a word 'hey', [(0, 'h'), (1, 'e'), (2, 'y')] ) (he essentially dissected the word into individual letters, each stored in a list alongside their index value as a tuple (index_value, letter) ) 3: iterated over the list of tuples, for each tuple using *i* for the index value and *letter* for the letter 4: appended only the index values of the guessed letters to another list, called indices 5: iterated over the indices he collected, and used the index value to jump to the position in word_as_list where the corresponding letter was guessed, and replaced the underscore in word_as_list with the guessed letter (word_as_list would look like ['_', '_', '_'] before, and look like ['_', 'e', '_'] afterwards if 'e' was hypothetically the guessed letter) 6: he used ' '.join to convert the list format of word_as_list into a string and assign the new string as word_completion (remember word_as_list was just word_completed, but chopped up) Don't know if you've figured it out already, but hope this helps!

As a absolute beginner to programming, I made my coded a game of hangman myself to then compare it to a more optimized version. These are the three lessons I've learned: 1. A lot of the time python has some QOL functions that save you 10 lines of code. 2. Prepare individual functions and then have code which runs a combinations of functions, which gives you a much more understandable and cleaner program. 3. This one ties into the first, really think about what you are doing and what you're planning to. This video was very good btw!

I just started learning how to code and this video has been super helpful. My first code was a madlibs game, but I wanted to try a game that was more responsive to user input: hang man! This video is so great because it provides a solid base for the viewer to expand on. Im going to try to add 3 different difficulty levels that the user can select which will adjust the amount of guesses per word. Im sure a more experienced programmer could add a gui. Awesome vid!

how do you draw the hangman's gallow thingy i.e. the stick on the left side and his body

[@ihebbenali2745]

i made this game before watching this video and tried to compare the codes, your code is very simple,short and a bit advanced from mine but many similarlies. mine has a hint system and second player mode, where the 1st player enters a hint and word for the 2nd player to guess. in the hint sysetem you can chose to either show 1 letter if the word is less than 4 letters long, or 2 letter if the word is longer. or you can chose to get the type of the word such as verb,adj, animal...

[@ihebbenali2745]

@Gotta Go no realy i had very basic knowledge of python and basic sense for game dev. you just have to know a bit of both to be honest. mostly the logic of how games should be coded, but i didnt go too deep in that. and then i gave it a shot. also i cant beleive im replying in 10 min for a reply on my comment that's 1 year old😂😂. i realy have to find something to do with my life lmao

[@Spongebob_Squarepants]

i didn't feel like using completed code or typing the stages of the hangman, so i turned it into Russian hangman where every time the player gets a letter wrong, a bullet will be added in the chamber. So each time they miss a letter, the probability of them losing gets higher.

How can you make it print space " " in between the underscores shown for the word, for instance I copied the code given and it prints "________" instead of " _ _ _ _ _ _ " which is kind of hard to read so you can count the letters. Anybody got pointers?

Hi guys, novice here. could someone explain 4:58 where the code says 'i for i, letter' I know the second i is the index and letter is the corresponding letter, but what is the first i? thanks so much in advance

[@jetspray3]

The enumerate function returns the index which is 'i' and the individual 'letter' which would be starting from the first character in the string. So 'i' would be the index that would be strip out and stored in a list only if the letter you guess is in the string. You can also strip out the 'letter' as well only if you have use for it. This statement is a shortcut which is called a list comprehension in python.

[@samihatoum]

could anyone explain what he is doing at 5:00 using enumerate?

[@parkuuu]

Enumerate returns both the Index number and the item. He's matching if the input matches any of the letters on the word, and then returning the index number to determine the position of the letter. He then converts the blanks into a list so that he could replace the blank with the correct letter itself (as a list by using the index), then converting it back to a string. Rinse and repeat the whole process.

Great video! I tried writing the code, and I found an error on Line 102. Instead of "return stages[tries]" it should be "return stages[tries-1] since its an array with only 6 elements. So it goes 0-1-2-3-4-5, and there's no stage 6.

[@KiteHQ]

Hi ɣʋⱴraʝ Walia, thanks for exploring the code and sharing thoughtful feedback! If the stages array had just six elements, you’d be correct in using tries-1 for the index, but this array actually has seven elements (initial display + 6 after each mistake), so using tries by itself is the appropriate index value.
