Hangman

This is a java recreation of the classic game hangman, where the player tries to guess the word selected by the computer with a certain amount of lives.

The project started as an exercise in a software development course I attended in the winter semester of 2016-2017 where I started learning Java. Original game made in about a week.

Anyway, have fun with it and if you want to contribute (like adding a ASCII-art hangman), then feel free to do so :)

RUNNING HANGMAN
