Create a hangman game, you wull use all the skills you have gained so far!

checkLetter

• function that takes two parameters, a guess and a check
• if the guess matches the check, return true, - otherwise return false

checkWord

• a function, take in three parameters, the answer(array), what the user knows(array), and a guess(string).
• set a variable called 'inList' to false
• loop through the answer, check each letter in the answer against the guess, use checkLetter
• if the letter is in the list, set inList to true
• return inList, it should be true if the value was found and false if it wasn't.

checkWin

• function, take two parameters, an answer(array) and the users answer(array)
• if the what the user knows is equal to the answer, return true
• if the two are not equal, return false

hide

• a function, take in one parameter, the answer (array)
• make a copy of the answer and store in a var hidden
• loop through hidden, hit each letter with a "_"
• return the value of hidden

play

• Write a function called play, takes no parameters
• create need a list of words to play from
• create need a variabele to hold the number of guesses that a person is allowed to make
• create a list to hold the wrong guesses, so a user can know what they have already tried.
• use getRandom to get a random word from the list of words, assign it to a variable called answer, store as an array
• use the hide function to hide a copy of answer, assign to a new variable called userKnows
• create a variable called playing, set it to true
• while playing is true, run through the game play loop...
  • show the user the hidden word
  • show the user the number of guesses that they have left
  • show the user the list of guesses that have already made.
  • prompt the user for a letter
  • check the users guess against the word, use the check function
  • if the guess isn't in the list, remove 1 from the number of guesses.
  • if there are no guesses left, console the user. reveal the word they didn't get. set playing to false to break the loop.
  • use the checkWin function to see if the user solved the puzzle
  • if the puzzle is solved, congratulate the user, set playing to false.

Call the play function to make it all happen!

Bonus

• ask the user if they want to play again. play again if they confirm
• error check, only allow the user to input letters, exclude numbers and special characters
• Hint: That sounds like a nasty if else statment, is there a smarter way to attack this problem?
