I looooove word games, but I’ve always thought Hangman was a bit morbid. Is this a lynching reference? Yeah, not going there. So, I am pleased to present The Very HANGry Caterpillar, a friendlier implementation of Hangman. Guess a letter. If your word or phrase doesn’t contain that letter, the caterpillar will eat part of your garden. You win if you complete the word while you still have any garden left!
You can play it yourself using this link: thunkablecompanion UPDATE: well, you could have, before the app limit. I’ve unpublished, so you’ll have to take my word for it.
I was avoiding working on my shopping list app (feature creep - ugh!), so I made a video showing how I did it: WDC #20 walkthrough (How to build Hangman)
To-do: Currently, you get 8 guesses no matter what. Phrases should probably give you fewer guesses, especially some of the longer ones that have most of the letters in them – too easy as it is!
