Hangman Brief

• This Android app is a game made to simulate the
  classical game of Hangman in which there will be
  a 'questioner' who will present the player with a
  word whose letters are blanked out, and the
  player will then have to guess what the word is
  correctly. A wrong guess would result in the
  player's avatar in the game, a stick figure,
  getting closer and closer to be 'hanged'. Hence,
  the eponymous name of the game.
• In this Android version, the app takes on the
  role of the 'questioner', with the player (or the
  user) allowed to choose the difficulty he (or
  she) wishes. The app assumes that longer words
  are more difficult, thus, the higher the
  difficulty, the longer the word given towards the
  player. The rest of the game just follows the
  pen-and-paper version.
• Unlike the pen-and-paper version however, this
  Android Hangman lacks the ability to come up with
  new words, and thus is somewhat limited in the
  sense that the words 'questioned' are all
  hard-coded into the app itself.

Lessons Learned / Significance / Coolness /
Uniqueness

• The original draw of this idea was to somehow
  implement the Hangman game with the ability to
  generate words on its own we eventually found
  out that such an algorithm would probably be
  quite costly and difficult to implement. However,
  this being the first Android app we develop, we
  hope that our subsequent ones would rely less on
  hard-coded data.
• While not uniquely significant on its own, this
  is our first venture into the realm of Android
  apps, so it was an interesting and educational
  journey into XML-style documents, as well as a
  refresher course of sorts in Java (having spent
  most of the semester coding in C).
