Sunday April 1, 2007 (08:06pm) I would like your help (while watching Space Ghost: Coast To Coast on my PC) I've been working on a Hangman game all this weekend. It's a web-based game that was made primarily to be played on my PDA but will work on most any web browser. Anyway, the main problem with making a hangman-like game is that, when you're the one who makes it, you already know all the answers because YOU were the one that inputed them by hand, taking away one of the key elements to what makes hangman fun: not knowing the answer. Since I created the game was with a feature that allows me to easily add more answers to the database, I thought it would be cool if other people inputed answers as well, so that way there would be some answers that I wouldn't already know. Then if enough people added enough different answers to the database, even people who've added to it will still not know enough of the answers, making playing the game fun again. So, if you all wouldn't mind, check out the hangman game and please add some phrases to the list. In case you haven't figured it out, you can get to the game by clicking on the blue link above. Playing the game is rather simple. At the top of the page there's a drop down box that lists all current hangman categories. You can have it select random phrases from all categories or specific categories. Below that is the hidden phrase with the category it's from above it in bold. Below that is the list of unchosen letters. Below that shows how many strikes (letters you've selected that are not in the secret phrase) you have and how many consecutive games you've won. Below that are game settings, where you can change the max number of strikes before you lose. Below that is a section that allows you to add a phrase to the database. Feel free to play the game and tell me what you think of the game, if you find any bugs, and perhaps even what I could do to make it better. Thanks, Kyle
