Hangman

OPENING QUESTIONS: Make a list of the steps required to play the game 'hangman'

LEARNING TARGET: I will be able to:

  • identify the steps required to play hangman during today's class
  • identify how to use lists to implement a hangman game during today's class

WORK O' THE DAY:

PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AND REVIEW THE HANGMAN SPECS AND RUBRIC

HANGMAN SPECS

Notice that you'll need to have access to a word list in order to write the code for the game.

There are detailed instructions in the specifications for doing that (but they ain't easy!)

1) Please work with your team to download that word list into a new program in SNAP.

2) Hangman takes a great deal of planning. DO NOT start coding at all today.

3) Now please work with your team to develop an algorithm (A series of steps) that you'll need to adapt into your program.

Please do that on a full sheet of butcher paper so you can make frequent revisions. Please also make sure that everyone has a pencil in hand and that you are not a spectator in the project!

Once again, please note that this is a necessary, required and otherwise DIFFICULT first step. Please treat it as such!

You'll turn that in to me tomorrow and I'll let you know if you are ready to begin coding.
