Project Title
Hangman Game (PHP)

Project Summary
The Hangman Game is a classic word-guessing game implemented as a web-based application using PHP. Players try to guess a hidden word by suggesting letters within a limited number of attempts. The game provides a fun and educational way to practice vocabulary and logic.

Core Features

• Random word generation from a predefined list or database
• Letter input to guess characters in the word
• Visual representation of correct and incorrect guesses
• Limit on the number of wrong attempts before the game ends
• Real-time update of the word display as letters are guessed
• Game over screen with success or failure message
• Option to play again or get a new word

Technologies Used

• PHP for backend logic, word selection, and session tracking
• HTML and CSS for displaying the game board and hangman graphic
• JavaScript for handling user input and dynamic updates
• Optional MySQL for storing custom word lists or player stats
• AJAX (optional) for smoother game refresh and scoring updates

Learning Outcomes

• Implementing game logic using conditional statements and loops
• Managing user sessions and storing game state with PHP
• Using arrays and string manipulation in gameplay
• Creating responsive interfaces for interactive experiences
• Handling form inputs and validating user guesses

Possible Enhancements

• Add difficulty levels with longer or rarer words
• Include a hint system or category-based words
• Enable user login and score tracking
• Display animations for each wrong guess
• Add a leaderboard for fastest wins or fewest mistakes
