hangman —
computer version of the game
hangman
SYNOPSIS
hangman |
[-k] [-d
wordlist] |
DESCRIPTION
In hangman, the computer picks a word from
the on-line word list and you must try to guess it. The computer keeps track
of which letters have been guessed and how many wrong guesses you have made
on the screen in a graphic fashion.
The options are as follows:
-dwordlist- Use the specified wordlist instead of the default. A wordlist file must have one word per line. Only lowercase words of at least a certain length (typically 6 characters) are chosen.
-k- Use the kernel symbols, as read from /dev/ksyms, instead of the default wordlist.
FILES
- /dev/ksyms
- Kernel symbols file.
- /usr/share/dict/words
- Default word list.
