    The document describes an assignment to expand a Hangman game program. The new requirements are to: 1) Choose a random secret word from an array and allow word or character guesses 2) Track statistics for up to 50 players and display scores in descending order 3) Display incorrect guesses so far, sorted alphabetically 4) Display letters that can still be chosen, excluding guesses made The program must use strings, arrays, loops, decisions statements, functions and passing arrays as parameters.

    The Hangman Game

    The purpose of this assignment is to be able to apply the following programming


    concepts towards the creation of a well-structured program, which produces the correct
    results: strings and using the C String library, arrays of strings, loops, decision
    statements, expressions, variables and console i/o.

    Extend/rewrite/correct the program from your previous lab assignment to include the
    following new functionality. Everything else stays the same as in the previous lab.

    New functionality:
    1. Randomly choose a secret word from 10 words you have available and stored
    in a 2D array of strings. Assume these words can be as big as you wish.
    2. The player can enter either a character OR a string as his/her guess in any try.
    If the string matches the secret word, the player is awarded the points for
    finding the word with a guess according to the points below, otherwise points
    are deducted as below. See the 2 new criteria in the table below.

    Examples:
    So, for example, if the secret word is mystery and the player guesses the word with the
    first try, he will earn 200pts for finding the word using a “word guess” plus 100pts for
    finding the word overall for a total of 300 pts. If the player enters windows as his first
    guess, then he loses 80pts, his first try, but he is able to continue to find the word as he
    has 9 more tries. If he does not find the word in his remaining tries, 40 more points are
    deducted because he did not find the word overall.

    Criteria Points

    Letter found 10

    Letter not found -2

    Word found 100

    Word not found -40


    Word entered as 200
    guess and found

    Word entered as -80


    guess but not
    found

    3. Implement menu item 2. “Display Statistics”. Keep statistics on all players who
    have played the game and display these statistics in descending order from
    highest score to lowest score, i.e. player name and score, in a nicely formatted
    manner, once this menu option is chosen. Assume 50 players max. We have
    not learned about files yet, so you should assume that we are referring to
    players who played the game during the current execution (run) of the
    program.
    4. During the game, display the letters that have been incorrectly guessed so far
    (sorted alphabetically).
    5. During the game, display the letters the player can still choose from (sorted
    alphabetically). These are all the letters except those guessed by the player
    already.

    You will need to demonstrate strings and using the C String library, arrays of strings,
    arrays, loops, if-else and switch/case statements and use of functions (and passing arrays
    to functions) in this program. No global variables are allowed! You can use the following
    naming convention (or anything you choose, but you need to stick to it!): camel casing
    for variable names, Pascal casing for functions and all capital for constants. Do not forget
    to comment your code where necessary. The minimum is a function header for each
    function and a program header to explain what your program does. All code should be
    written in a single .c file. Test your program to make sure it works properly. Assume no
    error checking for invalid data. You should handle the case where the user enters
    anything different than 1, 2 or 3, in the menu though.
