PHP\/Javascript Hangman Game Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you like word games? Today’s game is well known to lots of people … Hangman. It uses English words, based on the dictionary arrangements at its (web) server. Maybe it would be a good game to learn English vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Programmers often use Linux dictionary files<\/a> as a means to get a word list, and that list could be in any language, and for ours it is English, so to make it for another language, change the code inside the file_get_contents() call in hangman.php<\/a><\/p>\n

This game<\/a> has two parts to it for PHP and Javascript to respectively get a word to use and arrange the user interaction.<\/p>\n

PHP and Javascript are like Fred and Ginger and HTML is like Edward Everett Horton … really just wanted to show you this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you can figure the rules when you click the picture above for a live run<\/a>, or know that you’ll get hurt unless you guess the unknown word fast enough. And it won’t just be your feelings!<\/p>\n

Thank you to The Free Dictionary<\/a> for its great online presence as a dictionary resource, for the functionality to explain an unknown word, for its dictionary meaning. The image map “click parts of the picture” vocabulary ESL tutorials<\/a> at this blog use the same resource to explain dictionary information about clicked on “things”.<\/p>\n

Anyway, see how you go with this game of logic and tactics!<\/p>\n

Here is a link to some downloadable PHP (with Javascript) programming code you could rename to hangman.php<\/a><\/p>\n
