Please, use C
Create a Hangman game. The following are the requirements for your game. You should read a list often possible words in from a file. Your game should randomly choose one of the words from the list and display the appropriate number of blanks. The user should then be able to play the game. Your game should display the appropriate ASCII art representing the hangman. If the user chooses to play again, he/she should be able to. If the user does not choose to play again, you should display the number of wins/losses during the session. The user should then be able to play the game. Your game should display the appropriate ASCII art representing the hangman. If the user chooses to play again, he/she should be able to. the user does not choose to play again, you should display the number of wins/losses during the session.Explanation / Answer
working c code compiled on ideone.
I am reading the list of words allowed from words.txt file for the hangman game.
The game has proper hangman art and allows 10 characters try limit.
It also checks on the user input and will give error in case the input is not a character.
