Hangman program with python -

i need make hangman program python program don't know how continue. in program given 6 chances, otherwise known “life line”, guess letters in word. every wrong guess shorten “life line”. game end when guess word correctly or have used “life line”. here sample output:

['_', '_', '_', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+-+-+  enter guess: ['_', '_', '_', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a'] ................................... enter guess: b ['b', '_', '_', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a'] ................................... enter guess: l ['b', 'l', '_', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a'] ................................... enter guess: o ['b', 'l', '_', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a', 'o'] ................................... enter guess: u ['b', 'l', 'u', '_']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a', 'o'] ................................... enter guess: e ['b', 'l', 'u', 'e']  ***life line*** -+-+-+-+ $|$|$|$| -+-+-+-+  incorrect guess: ['a', 'o'] ................................... got right! done! 

i have typed in first few codes got stuck.

import random wordlist = ["mary","tian pei","pong"] randname = random.choice ( wordlist) print randname  resultlist = [ ]   in range(len(randname)):     resultlist.append("_") print resultlist 

create blank list:

>>> name = "mary" >>> blanks = ["_" letter in name] >>> blanks ['_', '_', '_', '_'] 

create list of incorrect guesses:

>>> incorrect_guesses = # figure 1 out 

set life-lines:

>>> life_lines = # figure 1 out 

prompt guess:

>>> guess = raw_input("guess: ") guess: >>> guess 'a' 

save variable says whether or not guess incorrect:

>>> incorrect = # figure 1 out 

iterate on name , replace respective blank line in blanks letter if respective letter in name same guess:

>>> in range(len(name)): ...     if name[i] == guess: ...         incorrect = # figure 1 out ...         blanks[i] = # figure 1 out ...  >>> blanks ['_', 'a', '_', '_'] 

if incorrect true, add guess incorrect_guesses (in case, since guess correct, wouldn't update) , subtract life-line:

>>> if incorrect: ...     incorrect_guesses.append( # figure 1 out ) ...     life_lines -= # figure 1 out ... 

to check equivalence, join letters in blanks re-form original word can compare two:

>>> final = ''.join(blanks)    # connects each letter empty string >>> final '_a__' 

the general control structure following:

choose random word create blanks list set life-lines while life_lines greater 0 , word not completed:     print blanks list     print life_lines graphic     if there incorrect guesses:         print incorrect guesses     prompt guess     check if correct , fill in blanks     if incorrect:         add incorrect guesses , subtract life-line if word completed:     win else:     lose 

it's fill in blanks wrote here (and write own routines printing life-line graphics , such).
