Hangman game

Developing a Hangman game and describe the step$-$by$-$step breakdown of how you would apply the SDLC approach to develop this game. Below is a list of tasks and instructions you need to follow to create a Hangman game in Python. These tasks cover the essential steps to develop the game:

$**$Task $1$: Setup the Initial Game Structure$**$

$1.$ Create a new Python file for your Hangman game.

$2.$ Define a list of words that the game can choose from.

$3.$ Create a function to choose a random word from the list for the game.

$**$Task $2$: Display the Initial Game State$**$

$4.$ Write a function to display the initial state of the Hangman game.

$5.$ Display the number of attempts left $($e$.$g$.,$ "You have $6$ attempts left"$).$

$**$Task $3$: Accept User Input$**$

$6.$ Create a function to accept a single letter as input from the user.

$7.$ Validate the input to ensure it's a single letter.

$**$Task $4$: Check and Update Guesses$**$

$8.$ Implement a function that checks if the guessed letter is in the secret word.

$9.$ Keep track of the guessed letters $($both correct and incorrect$).$

$**$Task $5$: Display the Word with Guessed Letters$**$

$10.$ Create a function that displays the current state of the word, replacing unknown letters with underscores and revealing correctly guessed letters.

$11.$ Display the word after each guess, indicating the progress made.

$**$Task $6$: Game Logic$**$

$12.$ Implement the main game loop.

$13.$ In the loop, allow the user to make guesses until they either correctly guess the word or run out of attempts.

$14.$ Display a victory message if they guess the word or a game over message if they run out of attempts.

$**$Task $7$: Final Touches$**$

$15.$ Add the ability to play multiple games in a row.

$16.$ Customize the list of words for variety.

$17.$ Optionally, you can implement difficulty levels by selecting words based on length or complexity.

$**$Task $8$: Documentation and Testing$**$

$18.$ Write comments to explain the code.

$19.$ Test your game thoroughly to ensure it works as expected, handling different scenarios.

$20.$ Consider sharing the game with friends or classmates for additional testing and feedback.

$**$Task $9$: Extra Features $($Optional$)**$

$21.$ Implement additional features, such as a scoring system, or word categories.
