Shareware and Benefits of Registration
   Shareware, Benefits of Registration, and Ordering Information

Hang Man is distributed as shareware. The idea behind shareware is that it lets you try before you buy software to see if you like it and would enjoy owning a copy. The shareware license generally gives you the right to try the product for a short period of time, for example 30 days. If you continue to use the software after the initial trial period you are required to buy a licensed version.

Playing Hang Man
   Installing and Playing Hang Man

Installation

Hang Man is delivered as either a compressed, self-extracting, self-installing, Windows EXE file or a compressed ZIP file. With the EXE version, simply place the EXE in a temporary directory (for example C:\TEMP) and run the file from File Manager or Program Manager. If you have the ZIP version of the file, uncompress the ZIP file in to a temporary directory using a zip file extraction program. Then run the SETUP.EXE file from Program Manager or File Manager.

In both cases, the Hang Man setup program will ask some questions then automatically install Hang Man on to your computer. Select the Hang Man icon to play.

Playing Hang Man

The object of Hang Man is to guess all the letters of the hidden word or phrase located at the bottom left of the game screen. Initially all the letters of this word are replaced with dots. By typing letters on the keyboard or selecting letters with the mouse, fill in the hidden word. Each correct guess is displayed in the hidden word. Each incorrect guess adds a part to the Hang Man. Correctly guess all the letters before the Hang Man is complete and you Win!

There are several levels of play in Hang Man. You can choose the difficulty of the words and how many guesses are allowed. Level 1 words are the shortest, level 2 words are more difficult, level 3 contains the hardest words plus short phrases. You can also select either 9, 7, 5 or 3 guesses to solve the puzzle.

   Custom Game Words

There are three files located in the installation directory for Hang Man; Words1.txt, Words2.txt, and Words3.txt. These files contain the words for levels 1, 2, and 3 respectively. To add words, simply edit the corresponding file with a text editor (such as Windows Notepad). There should be one word or short phrase per line. The length of the word or phrase is determined by how many characters will fit in the word box on the game screen. Level 1 words are generally the easiest and level 3 the hardest. You need not follow this convention though.
