Answer 1

import time
import random

# Accepts user name
playerName = input("Enter your name: ")

print ("Hello, " + playerName, " start the hangman game!")

print ("")

#wait for 1 second
time.sleep(1)

print ("Start guessing...")
time.sleep(0.5)

# Creates words
wordDic = ("danger", "apple", "easy", "democracy", "answer", "question")
# Generates random word
secretWord = random.choice(wordDic)

print(secretWord)

# creates an variable with an empty value to store the guess character
guessWord = ''

# Sets number of turns
turns = len(secretWord) + 1

# Create a while loop

#check if the turns are more than zero
while turns >= 0:

# make a counter that starts with zero
failed = 0   

# Loops every character in secretWord   
for char in secretWord:   

# Checks if the character is in the players guess
if char in guessWord:   
  
# Displays the character
print (char, end = '')

# if not found, print a dash symbol
else:
  
# Displays dash symbol separated by space
print ("_", end = ' ')

# Increase the failed counter with one
failed += 1   

# Checks if failed is equal to zero

# print You Won
if failed == 0:   
print ("\n You won")

# exit the script
break   

# Displays how many turns are left
print ("\n You have", + turns, 'more guesses')

# Accepts a guess character
guessCharacter = input("\n Guess a character: ")

# Concatenates the players guess character to guess word
guessWord += guessCharacter   

# Decrease the turn counter by one
turns -= 1
  
# Checks if the guess character is not found in the secret word
if guessCharacter not in secretWord:  

# Displays wrong
print ("Wrong")

# Checks if the turns are equal to zero
if turns == 0:
  
# Displays You Loose
print ("\n You Loose")
