title: Do you want to build a Snowman? draft: true

In this assignment, you'll build a less grim variation of a popular game:

Objectives

• Reinforce component architecture in React
• Effective use props and state in React

Requirements

We're going to build a sort of reverse hangman. The player can't lose; they just get to build a snowman by adding parts each time they guess a letter correctly.

You will need to download these files and add them to your project:

1. Word List
2. Snowman Images (Unzip these before adding to your project)

Explorer Mode

• [x] Selects a random word from the list and display a number of blank spaces (or underscores) equal to the word length.
• [x] Display a list of letters, A through Z as clickable buttons.
• [x] When the player guesses a letter (clicks the button):
  • [x] All instances of that letter are revealed at their corresponding positions in the word.
  • [x] The button becomes disabled, as it has already been guessed.
  • [x] Display the snowman image that corresponds with the number of letters revealed in the word.

Adventure Mode

• [x] After the word has been completed, offer the player to play again. Reset the state of the game without a page reload.

Epic Mode

Refactor the game to play like a traditional "hangman" game:

• [x] If the chosen letter is not part of the word, the snowman "grows"; increase a counter by one for each incorrect guess.
• [x] If the snowman is completed (counter reaches 7) before the word is completed, the player loses, and the snowman wins.

Still need to fix the end game when player loses. Will ask you about it. I asked you about it!
