Introduction

Are you looking for a fun and engaging C programming project? The Hangman Game in C is an excellent beginner-level project that helps students learn file handling, loops, conditional statements, and string manipulation in a practical way. 🎯

In this blog, we’ll explore how to create a console-based Hangman game in C, complete with word selection from a file, guess tracking, and win/loss conditions. Let’s get started! 🚀


💡 Project Overview

Hangman is a classic word-guessing game where a player tries to guess a hidden word one letter at a time. The player wins by guessing all letters before running out of attempts.

Programming Language: C
 
IDE Used: Code::Blocks with MinGW C Compiler
 
Target Audience: School students (8-16 years) & Beginners
 
Main Concepts Used: Loops, Functions, Strings, File Handling


🛠 Features of Hangman Game in C

Random Word Selection – The game selects a word from a predefined file.
 
Letter Guessing System – Players guess one letter at a time.
 
Limited Attempts – A player can only make 6 incorrect guesses before losing.
 
Dynamic Word Display – The word updates as letters are guessed.
 
Win/Loss Condition Handling – The game informs the player if they win or lose.


📜 How the Code Works?

🔹 Step 1: The game loads words from a file (words.txt).
 ðŸ”¹ Step 2: It selects a random word and hides it using underscores.
 ðŸ”¹ Step 3: The player guesses letters one by one.
 ðŸ”¹ Step 4: If the guess is correct, the letter is revealed; if wrong, attempts are reduced.
 ðŸ”¹ Step 5: The game continues until the player wins or loses.


📂 How to Set Up & Run the Game in Code::Blocks?

Step 1: Copy and paste the C code into Code::Blocks and save it as hangman.c.
 
Step 2: Create a words.txt file and add words (one per line).
 
Step 3: Click Build → Build & Run (F9) to start the game.

Example words.txt Content:
