The project contain following technical details

• A class ‘word_guess_game’ that captures the following data members and functions

  • char array[8][12]; /* memory array that stores 8 words of max 12 characters */
  • int read_count; /* counts the number of words read */
  • ifstream inputFile; /* input file stream pointer */
  • word_guess_game(); - /* constructor that initializes read_count */
  • void rdf(char file); / function that reads the data in memory ‘array’ from a file */
  • void start_text(); /* prints the starting text to prompt user to play the game */

• This is a very basic game and has following limitations

  • The word must be less than or equal to 12 characters
  • No blank lines permitted in the input file
  • for now the name of the input file is fixed as "input.txt"
  • maximum number of words supported is 8
  • all the characters that you guess in the word must be entered in capital letters

• Screen output is given to allow user to enter the option for playing or exit the game

• Once user start the playing part the word is shown hidden by the character ‘*’ with number of characters in the word guess

• User presses the characters and if that character exists in the word then its place is updated by that character

• The number of characters in the word is the binding limit of entering the characters

• At the end the word is shown and your score of how many characters in the word you guessed right is also shown

• The number of attempts a person can play this game has been fixed at 5 as of now
