Enjoy the classic game of hangman not in command line form!

CLI Hangman requires node.js to be installed on your machine and the ability to use node package manager.

CLI Hangman can be installed by downloading this repo, then navigate to your CLI-Hangman directory. Within the directory run npm install to download all dependencies.

~/.../CLI-Hangman

npm install

Now that you have Hangman installed you can run node index.js in your command line.

You will be prompted to guess a letter, enter your letter and press the enter key. Repeat until you guess the word or you run out of guesses. Then play again!

• Node.js

This was an exercise in constructor functions. You can see in this repo that I was working with word.js which contained my Word constructor and letter.js which contained my Letter constructor. At first I found it difficult to understand the relationship between the Word and Letter objects because these objects are not hard coded. I knew they were there but I had a hard time conceptualizing them. One solution that helped was simply calling the object that I was having trouble with, and use it as a visual aid to solve my problem. The other thing I noticed was that the longer I worked on this project and with constructor functions in general, the more I was able to take a invisible set of objects and visualize them in my mind without having to log them to the screen. I look forward to more practice so this becomes second nature to me :)
