hangman game [was: Hello]

lilush · August 7, 2012

I am trying to make a hanging man game.

I have ten words with 5 letters each.

the program is supposed to choose one word out of the ten randomly and the user has to guess the letters and replace the underlines that appear on screen. the correct letters stay on screen. there is also a picture of the hanging man and with each mistake a body part appears- they get 6 tries or they fail.

This is my code so far, it's a mess because I don't really know what i'm doing... (my ten words are in hebrew at the top)

I'll really appreciate some help

<?php
session_start();

if ( !isset($_SESSION['word']) )
{

$wordList="שולחן
וילון
מדפסת
גיטרה
פסנתר
דרקון
תרמיל
בקבוק
חולצה
תמונה";
}
?>

<html dir="rtl">
<body>
	<?php
	if(isset($_POST["exit"]))
	{
	?>
		תודה ולהתראות!
		<br>
		<form action="game.php" method="post"><br><br>
			<input type="submit" value="חזור למשחק" /> 
		</form>
	<?php
	}
	elseif(isset($_POST["guessletter"])) 
	{
		if(!isset($_SESSION["totalGuess"]))
		{
		$_SESSION["totalGuess"] = 0;
		}
			$totalGuess= 0;		
	}
	$maxError=6;
	$wordList= rand(1,10);
	$pickedWord= $wordList
	if (!isset($_SESSION["word"]))

	?>

איש תלוי
<br><br>
<img src="0.jpg"/>
<form action="game.php" method="post" >
<font size="+6"><?php echo "_ _ _ _ _"; ?></font><br><br>
<input type="text" name="guessletter" />
<input type="submit" name="guess" value= "נחש"/>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="exit" value= "יציאה"/>
</form>

</html>

mod edit: meaningful title and put ending php code tag after the end of the code (edit2: unfortunately, the php code tag processing displays the foreign language characters as entities.)

why dont you make your example code English?

lilush · August 7, 2012

ok- in english:

<?php

session_start();

if ( !isset($_SESSION['word']) )

{

$wordList="table

curtain

printer

guitar

piano

dragon

pack

bottle

shirt

picture";

}

?>

<html>

<body>

<?php

if(isset($_POST["exit"]))

{

?>

thank you and goodbey!

<br>

</form>

<?php

}

elseif(isset($_POST["guessletter"]))

{

if(!isset($_SESSION["totalGuess"]))

{

$_SESSION["totalGuess"] = 0;

}

$totalGuess= 0;

}

$maxError=6;

$wordList= rand(1,10);

$pickedWord= $wordList

if (!isset($_SESSION["word"]))

?>

hanging man

</form>

</body>

</html>

Are you having trouble with something?

lilush · August 7, 2012

yeah

I don't know how to get the program to randomly pick one of the words in the word bank

scootstah · August 7, 2012

First, you should make the word list an array - it just makes more sense.

$wordList = array(
'table',
'curtain',
'printer',
'guitar',
'piano',
'dragon',
'pack',
'bottle',
'shirt',
'picture'
);

Then, you can use array_rand to pick a random word.

lilush · August 7, 2012

ok- I turned it

could you tell me how I use array_rand()?

I'm sorry I'm really new at this

Barand · August 7, 2012

$wordlist = array(
    'table'   ,
    'curtain' ,
    'printer' ,
    'guitar'  ,
    'piano'   ,
    'dragon'  ,
    'pack'    ,
    'bottle'  ,
    'shirt'   ,
    'picture'
);

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) {
    $randomword = $wordlist[array_rand($wordlist)];   // get random word
    echo $randomword . '<br />';
}

Drummin · August 7, 2012

Does it need the FOR loop?

<?php
$wordList = array(
'table',
'curtain',
'printer',
'guitar',
'piano',
'dragon',
'pack',
'bottle',
'shirt',
'picture'
);
$wordkey=array_rand($wordList);
$word=$wordList[$wordkey];
echo "$word";
?>

scootstah · August 7, 2012

No, I think he was just demonstrating that it is in fact random.

Drummin · August 8, 2012

For the fun of it.

<?php
session_start(); 

$wordList = array(
'table',
'curtain',
'printer',
'guitar',
'piano',
'dragon',
'pack',
'bottle',
'shirt',
'picture'
);


if (!isset($_SESSION['word']) || isset($_POST['reset'])){
$wordkey=array_rand($wordList);
$word=$wordList[$wordkey];
$_SESSION['word']=$word;
$_SESSION["totalGuess"]=0;
$_SESSION["matches"]=array();	
}else{
$word=$_SESSION['word'];
}
$wordlength = strlen($word);
$totalGuess = (!isset($_SESSION["totalGuess"])? 0 : $_SESSION["totalGuess"]);

//create array of letters in word
$word_array = str_split($word);

//Check post against word_array
if (isset($_POST['guess']) && $totalGuess<=$wordlength){
$letter = trim($_POST['guessletter']);
$matchkey = (in_array($letter,$word_array) ? array_search($letter,$word_array) : '');
	for($i=0;$i<=($wordlength-1);$i++){
		if (isset($_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey]) && isset($_SESSION["matches"][$i]) && $_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey]==$_SESSION["matches"][$i]){
			$_SESSION["matches"][$i]=$_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey];
		}elseif($word_array[$i]==$letter){
			$_SESSION["matches"][$i]="$letter";
		}
	}
$_SESSION["totalGuess"]++;
header("location: game.php");
exit;
}
ksort($_SESSION["matches"]);

//style display section
$reset="";

if ($totalGuess==$wordlength || count($_SESSION["matches"])==$wordlength){
	if (count($_SESSION["matches"])==$wordlength){
		foreach($word_array as $key => $l){
			if ($_SESSION["matches"][$key]!=$word_array[$key]){
				$reset="<br />Reset for new game";
				$color="#ff0000";
				$fail= true;					
			}				
		}
		$color="#006600";
		$reset=(!isset($fail) ?	"<br /><span style=\"color:#006600;\">YOU WON</span><br />Reset for new game" : "<br />Reset for new game");
	}else{
	$color="#ff0000";
	$reset="<br />Reset for new game";
	}
}else{
	$color="#000000";
}
//display section
$display = "<span style=\"color:$color; font-size:28px;\">";
	for($d=0;$d<=($wordlength-1);$d++){
		$display .= (isset($_SESSION["matches"][$d]) ? "{$_SESSION["matches"][$d]}" : "_")." "; 
	}	
$display .= "</span>.$reset";
$display .= "<br />$totalGuess out of $wordlength";   
?>

WOW

Thank you!!!

How do I get the images of the hanging man to appear whenever someone makes a mistake? I have 8 images the first one is 0 mistake so it is displayd on the start and with each mistake a body part appears (image mistake 2, mistake 3 etc)

Drummin · August 8, 2012

Can you make a static grid (table?) of your images? Really the way it is now, ANY missed letter is a fail. So code would need to be changed to use 8 errors to loose.

Drummin · August 8, 2012

Something like this should work.

<?php
session_start(); 

$wordList = array(
'table',
'curtain',
'printer',
'guitar',
'piano',
'dragon',
'pack',
'bottle',
'shirt',
'picture'
);


if (!isset($_SESSION['word']) || isset($_POST['reset'])){
$wordkey=array_rand($wordList);
$word=$wordList[$wordkey];
$_SESSION['word']=$word;
$_SESSION["totalGuess"]=0;
$_SESSION["matches"]=array();	
}else{
$word=$_SESSION['word'];
}
$wordlength = strlen($word);
$totalGuess = (!isset($_SESSION["totalGuess"])? 0 : $_SESSION["totalGuess"]);

//create array of letters in word
$word_array = str_split($word);

//Check post against word_array
//if (isset($_POST['guess']) && $totalGuess<=$wordlength){
if (isset($_POST['guess'])){
$letter = trim($_POST['guessletter']);
$matchkey = (in_array($letter,$word_array) ? array_search($letter,$word_array) : '');
	for($i=0;$i<=($wordlength-1);$i++){
		if (isset($_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey]) && isset($_SESSION["matches"][$i]) && $_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey]==$_SESSION["matches"][$i]){
			$_SESSION["matches"][$i]=$_SESSION["matches"][$matchkey];
		}elseif($word_array[$i]==$letter){
			$_SESSION["matches"][$i]="$letter";
		}
	}
$_SESSION["totalGuess"]++;
header("location: game.php");
exit;
}
ksort($_SESSION["matches"]);

//style display section
$reset="";
	   
$miss_total = $_SESSION["totalGuess"] - count($_SESSION["matches"]);

 if ($miss_total>={
	$color="#ff0000";
	$reset="<br />Reset for new game";
 }else{
	if (count($_SESSION["matches"])==$wordlength){
		foreach($word_array as $key => $l){
			if ($_SESSION["matches"][$key]!=$word_array[$key]){
				$reset="<br />Reset for new game";
				$color="#ff0000";
				$fail= true;					
			}				
		}
		$color="#006600";
		$reset=(!isset($fail) ?	"<br /><span style=\"color:#006600;\">YOU WON</span><br />Reset for new game" : "<br />Reset for new game");

Is there a way to use this

$_SESSION["presentedTryNum"] += 1;

and each time it counts a diffrent image would appear?

and again- thank you so much for your help

Drummin · August 8, 2012

You already have several sessions counting.

$miss_total = $_SESSION["totalGuess"] - count($_SESSION["matches"]);

So $_SESSION["totalGuess"] is going up with each answer and you would format the code much like I did using the $miss_total variable for showing each image.
