As the term project, you are required to develop a Hangman game with multiple lengths of strings. The game should be simple and easy to use with the help of a mouse or a keyboard. Your application should be able to keep scores of users and store them on a file.
You can use the following statements and figures as guidelines:
For usability purposes, you are required to implement a graphical
user interface (GUI) for your application.
Your application should have a menu bar which would contain File
and Help (see Fig. 1).

At the end of each game, it should ask for the user’s name and record his/her details (name, time, date, hangman string, string size and time elapsed) on a file.
At any time, users should be able to quit the game by clicking on
the appropriate key combination (Ctrl+Q).

The game GUI should have a visual keyboard which can be
interacted via mouse of arrow buttons.
The game GUI should include a tip about the string that is expected from the player to guess its letters (Fig. 2) – “Tip: Bruce Willis’ Space Movie”.
The game GUI should have a list of 6 letters – vowels and non- vowels – that are not in the given string, word or sentence. As shown in Fig. 2: “Not in string: I U X T S J”.
The GUI should be also indicated the current status of the game – as in “In progress” in blue, “You WON!” in green or “You LOSE!” in red.
Depending to the string or sentence length there should be a countdown timer next to the status label. The timeout period should be set based on the difficulty of the string – i.e. easier the keyword shorter the time out period.
All the questions of the game should be stored comma-separated values (CSV) in a text file. The values separated with a comma should be the tip, not-in-string characters, the hidden string and countdown timeout value. This file should be manually created by the programmer. The application should be reading the file and randomly picking a hidden string to ask to the player.
The File menu should have four submenu items – namely New
Game, Reset Game, Score Table and Quit.

Fig. 3: Example Hangman game File Menu
Players should be able to start a new game by clicking on the (File-
New Game) menu item (Fig. 3).
Players should be able to restart their current attempt without changing the hidden keyword/string by clicking relevant menu (File->Reset Game) item.
Players should also be able to see the scores list, which contains the list of ten highest scoring players on a separate window by clicking the appropriate menu item (File-> Score Table).
Fig. 4: Example Hangman game Help Menu
The About (Help->About) option should pop-up a small window that contains information (Name, Surname, School Number and Email) about the application developer (Fig. 4).

Every time a player fails to identify a character in the hidden string, one of the six body parts – head, torso, left arm, right arm, left arm and right arm – should be added to the picture. After the sixth failed attempt game should and the player should be notified that it has lost the game.
Last but not least, if a player would like to exit the game should
click on the relevant menu item (File->Quit).
[BONUS] The application should play relevant sounds after each character selection of the player – achievement indicating sound if the chosen character is in the hidden string or failure sound if not.
[BONUS] The number of text boxes in the GUI should be dynamic based on the size of the hidden string – each box one letter.
