title: ASCII-Hangman - hangman game for children with ASCII-art rewarding author: Jens Getreu no_filename_sync: true

Cargo Documentation License

A little game designed for primary kids to revise vocabulary in classroom. Setting up the vocabulary list is part of the learning process.

Hangman is a paper and pencil guessing game for two or more players. One player thinks of a word, phrase or sentence and the other tries to guess it by suggesting letters or numbers, within a certain number of guesses. In this version for children the computer selects a word, phrase or sentence randomly out of a word-list defined in a configuration file. As a reward, with every guessed letter, some ASCII-art is gradually disclosed. ASCII-Hangman comes with a library containing more than 300 different built-in ASCII-art images.

  • visual non distracting reward system with more than 300 built-in ASCII-art images,
  • no built in traditional gallows image,
  • designed for group learning in classroom,
  • fully configurable:
    • design your own ASCII-art (depending on the learning subject) and associate it with your word list,
    • provide the user with hints by disclosing some characters from the start,
  • web-application: play without installation,
  • desktop versions: play without network access,
  • open source software: guaranteed availability, always free of charge.

The first versions of ASCII-hangman were published as desktop versions only. With the rising of cyber-crime and the following security related restrictions, it became more and more difficult for teachers to install their own software. This is why from version 5.0 on, ASCII-hangman is also available as web-application.
