Guess words from the ImpressionSpell dictionary.
Hangman is a desktop implementation of the traditional word-guessing game. At the start of their turn, the player is presented with a random word in which all the letters have been replaced by dashes. Attempts must be made to guess the letters: if a guess is correct then that letter is shown in all its locations, but if wrong a "life" is lost. If the whole word has been guessed before all the available lives have gone, the player has won.
Hangman consists of a collection of un-tokenised BASIC, which must be assembled using the SFTools build environment. It will be necessary to have suitable Linux system with a working installation of the GCCSDK to be able to make use of this.
With a suitable build environment set up, making Hangman is a matter of running
make
from the root folder of the project. This will build everything from source, and assemble a working !Hangman application and its associated files within the build folder. If you have access to this folder from RISC OS (either via HostFS, LanManFS, NFS, Sunfish or similar), it will be possible to run it directly once built.
To clean out all of the build files, use
make clean
To make a release version and package it into Zip files for distribution, use
make release
This will clean the project and re-build it all, then create a distribution archive (no source), source archive and RiscPkg package in the folder within which the project folder is located. By default the output of git describe is used to version the build, but a specific version can be applied by setting the VERSION variable -- for example
make release VERSION=1.23
