About Wordbomb

  • The Idea, the Vision: Hangman, but with a BOMB! We wanted to put a new spin on a fan-favorite game to dispel boredom and increase our vocabulary
  • Wordbomb pulls random 5-letter words from a random-word-generator API that the user must guess before they're out of lives

How to Play

  • Guess letters that you think are part of the mystery word, but be careful! After 5 wrong guesses, it's game over and the bomb explodes X_X
  • After every incorrect guess, the bomb fuse gets shorter and shorter. You'll get updates on how many lives you have left and all your incorrect guesses will be displayed onscreen in a wordbank
  • For every correct guess, the letter will be displayed in its correct spot in the mystery word

Computer Setup to Play

  • Open up terminal and make sure to download the Python language on your computer using pip install python
  • Download the pygame library using pip install pygame
  • Download the requests library using pip install requests
  • Note: Depending on which version of python you are running or what type of device you are on, these commands may differ
  • Download the repository and run from your terminal through this link!: https://github.com/LMU-CMSI-1010/project-mpc.git
  • Call up your version of Python and run the final_game.py file! For example: python3 final_game.py
    • Have fun and good luck!
