App Inventor Hangman Tutorial: Procedures and For Loops

[@skagns0019]

From South Korea, Really thanks a million to your good lecture ! It's so easy to learn it for first time user. thx a lot Jennifer!

[@Buttermoth]

Great tutorial! I will add for those looking at this now that putting a space after the underscore in the "set progress label text/ Join progress label text " block helps the underscores not being clustered together.

[@DennoDenn]

Here you have added another great tutorial. Although it's going right over my head for now, I can easily follow each step you do in the Blocks. You are also giving me many new "tools" I can use, from the App Inventor world. Therefore I'm very glad I have found you on KZbin. *all availble thumbs up*

Your explanation was really good. Thanks!

[@redshop1234]

Thank you Jennifer for another great App Inventor Tutorial ! As an iPhone user, I am looking forward to using App Inventor to create iPhone apps. I appreciate your work.

[@saketajamere8796]

It is only for android...!!!!hahaha

[@robertgeofroy5419]

Gosh Jennifer. You are great! Thanks for this.

[@arnavpro4001]

Very nicely explained. Could understand everything. Very nice video

amazing tutorial. easy to follow and very informative. u saved my grade :)))

Hi Jennifer, I’ve had a close look at the issue I’ve had and found the problem to be as follows: as soon as one letter is found to be correct, all subsequent correct letters return a response saying they’re not in the word, along with all incorrect choices. I cannot work out how to correct this myself so please tell me! This is only the 2nd time I’ve tried to use AI2 and as a 74-year-old who just wondered what all the fuss is about with you young people, I have to say it’s testament to the quality of your work that I’ve got this far. I look forward to having this mystery solved and thank you once again.

I have been adding a block at the end of the alert: set textbox.text to " ". This clears the textbox for my next guess.

[@tomleeman6601]

Where abouts did you add that in the block?

she's soo gooooooddddd

[@cheya2289]

Hello! I really liked this tutorial a lot. But I would like to ask, how would you incorporate a picture while guessing the word? Like the typical hangman game. I really need an answer for this, and if anybody can, I'd be really grateful. Thank you so much! Really need it for a project.

[@pikenote]

One way maybe you can achieve that is for each try someone does and gets it wrong, it makes a imageSprite maybe containing parts of the hangman image appear. So like maybe 5 tries? For each try, it checks if the amount of tries equal to a certain amount of tries. If it does, it makes the image sprite visible. So 5 tries = the whole picture 3 tries = 3/5 of of it done and drawn.

[@vijayareddy8207]

Have the images(an empty noose, a noose with a head,head and body with noose and so on) uploaded on app inventor. Then use an imageSprite with the empty noose image. Each time they guess wrong, switch the image to the next one with the set imageSprite image to___

[@simantaadhikari9754]

Have you done this and did you find out how to incorporate the picture if yes Can you please help me?

[@jackmanjls]

Some verification of the code along the way would have been very helpful

[@nacro5638]

Beautiful tutorial, most appreciated - thank you. However I do have one issue which I am quite unable to resolve try as I might: no matter what letter I enter, I get the message saying it wasn't in the word. Once I'm out of guesses and can see the word, at least some of the letters I chose and submitted are indeed in there. I'm sure it's a silly error on my part but if anyone can guide me through this I'd be really grateful, so thanks in advance.

[@JenniferJohn]

I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial! One thing to check is that the cases of your words and the letters that you enter match. If you coded the words as all lowercase but then try to enter a capitalized letter, for example, it will not come up as a match. If that's not the issue, I recommend adding a label for debugging to your screen which you can use to set to the values of some of your variables to see if anything weird is going on.

[@nacro5638]

Thank you for your very quick response Jennifer. All the letters are lower case, and as for adding a debugging label (lol), I'll hunt down a tutorial to find out how to do that! I think I'll start again from scratch to see how I go. I appreciate your time and I'm only sorry I haven't been able to do justice to your efforts. Thank you once again.

it works but its really mindblowing great tutorial

Me putting all the blockes then the get alert gives me an error:😶

[@Syn.c]

Help my hangman game is broken it can go to -1 and beyond and I guessed a word correctly but it kept on going and I guessed all the letters of the alphabet but it refused all of the letters

[@l.f_]

On the part it can go to -1 and beyond, try to replace the "=" on the last if statement from the "when Button1 .click" for "=" and "

Thanks but i did not understand the for loop part and I won my school competition
