Aim : To simulate the game Hangman using C.

Procedure: By applying the four corner stones:

Decomposition: We have broken down the entire program of the

game into various modules simplifying it by functions such as genre,
rules, game_func, etc.

Abstraction: We have ensured detailing such as asking if

the user knows how to play or not. The rules are not
displayed if the player already knows how to play.

Pattern Recognition: Many of the recursions and calling of

functions is mainly recognised by patterns. For example, we split
the hangman structure into a function and called when called when
a certain pattern is appeared.

Algorithm: The algorithm for hangman in c is:

include "stdio.h"
include "stdlib.h"
include "string.h"
include "time.h"

void rules()
{
printf("\nThe rules of Hangman are:\n"); printf("A word will be
randomized in your choice of genre\n"); printf("You will
have 5 lifes to guess a letter in that word\n"); printf("If you guess
all letter without losing 5 lifes. You WIN\n"); printf("If you lose all
5 lifes. You LOSE\n"); printf("ENJOY\n\n");
}

int genres()
{ int
ch;
printf("Enter your genre\n");
printf("1) Names\n"); printf("2)
Football\n"); printf("3:
Apps\n");
printf("Enter a choice (1,2 or 3) : ");
scanf("%d",&ch);
if (ch ==
1) return
ch;
else if (ch == 2)

return ch; else if (ch ==

3) return ch; else{
printf("Invalid entry\n");
printf("Try again\n");
genres();
}
}

Conclusion: We have successfully interpreted the working of

the game Hangman using C.
