5 Letter Hangman

[SierraKen]

After playing the 4 Letter Hangman for awhile, I figured out that it was getting pretty easy. So tonight I decided to make a 5 letter version. I found a list online of 5 letter words, like I did with the 4 letter one at one time. Then I made an app that automatically makes the DATA statements for the list. This one chooses from 711 5-letter words. I also added some sky color. Everything else is the same, just one more letter than the other one. Also, as I did with the 4 letter one, I added the LCASE$ command so you don't have to worry about upper or lower case letters, it converts it all to lower case.

I like it! 
But for my littl'uns, the 4-letter will be enough, for now anyway.
By the way, for what it's worth,  you set word=711 in line 23, then read 710 in line 25, then read another  1 in line 27.
If you read all 711 as word$() in line 23, you don't need the -1, or line 27. Maybe you have a reason why you did this but I can't see it.

[SierraKen]

Yes, I first get a random number from 1 to 711. Then I read all of them up to right before that random number. Then outside of the loop I read again and get the word that number matches. It works that way because the READ statement keeps going anywhere in the program until it is finished with all the DATA statements. I guess I could have done it a different way with just one READ statement with an IF/THEN statement. But this works fine too. I'm glad you like it.

Thanks B+ . What didn't work though was adding SLEEP because when I pressed any key to get out of SLEEP, it used that key press as my first choice in the game.
So instead I used INPUT to press Enter to start the game after your DATA check.  I really like how you put all the words in an array first and then people can play as much as they want without having to read the DATA again. I also removed the unneeded RESTORE commands for when people play again. This morning I also wondered about the Randomize Timer location, am glad you changed it.

I also didn't know that you can use a string without the array attached after it's already had an array variable. Very cool!
Edit: Woops I see what you did, you changed the word$ to make it without an array with the RND, so technically it's a totally different string after that.

[bplus]

Yes! very good, I picked up on that problem with SLEEP key press as being the first "Letter" pressed and the hanging started right after seeing the array load check. Yikes! I just dumped the check. I had it in there so you or I would be reassured the array of Words$() did load from first to last correctly.

Yes word$ is just one from words$(), I guess the s is kind of hard to see next to $.

I made more changes just to see how many lines I could eliminate... 186 with all the words included.

At first I thought you oldLetters was checking if you were repeating a Letter guessed already, but no, it's to compare to Letters to see if any new hits, if not a "mistake".

Might be good idea to see if repeating an old letter, might declare a false win by repeating same successful letter 5 times. (OK no that doesn't happen.)

[SierraKen]

Thanks. Yes exactly, OldLetter is used to go back to the beginning if there's no mistake. I think I've tried every possibility. Like if you choose 1 o and there's 2 o's it will place both of them at once. If you accidentally repeat a mistake, it will still count as another mistake. Or if you repeat a letter that wasn't a mistake, but it's not needed, it will also count as a mistake.

I think I'm going go see if I can learn how to stop a READ command on any amount of DATA so people can add and delete any 5 letter words they wish. I don't even know if it's possible. But I'll make a new app for that to play around with first.

[SierraKen]

Sweet I can use on error goto, kinda like this. 

Code: (Select All)

Do
    On Error GoTo nomore:
    Read a$
    Print a$
Loop
nomore:

Data one,two,three,four
Data five,six,seven,eight
Data nine,ten,eleven,twelve

[SierraKen]

Oh shoot, I can't do that because I need a set number to DIM the array with. Oh well.
Edit: I did it! Go to the next page to see.
