Run make in the parent directory of src. A bin folder containing object files will be generated.
The game is invoked by providing a dictionary file as an argument. Example dictionary files are provided. Example:
./hangman dictionary.txt
The user enters lowercase characters for their attempts at guessing the word. If the player fails to guess the letter 7 times, they lose their streak. Otherwise, their streak count gets incremented.
The program generates a file called scoreboard.txt which contains the contents of the leaderboard. Five players can earn a spot on the leaderboard.
We would like to express our gratitude towards the CSE1400 team for providing the brainf*ck base archive, for its source files were paramount for building our understanding of both file handling and Makefile creation.
