Graphical Hangman - v0

This is a graphical hangman game I'm building to get used to PyGame and to become a better coder.

GRAPHICAL HANGMAN v1 9 - 17 - 2018 UPDATE: I won't be updating this so if someone wants to have at it and make it their own they are more than welcome. It isn't set up for any kind of packaging at all and I assume that if someone wants to play it they'll install python and pygame and use these resources to run it themselves. I'm just not advanced enough to package a game myself yet. This game is a simple Hangman game made with Python, the pygame library, and a few free tools for making art and sound. For the art I mostly used Piskel which is an easy way to make pixel art for sprites. For the sound I used a mixture of bfxr and Bosca Ceoil, both of which are free and easy to use. Notes on tinkering with my code: It's way overly complicated and someone willing to take the time and just refactor it would have a neat little something on their hands, although it might just be easier to make one from scratch. I simply did not use good coding practices in most of this code, but it works and that might be useful to someone. Enjoy! MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: This is just a game of hangman. It is not controversial. If anyone finds it controversial please let me know and I will immediately take it down. It seemed like a cool first thing to code to completion with pygame.

Changes

This is a project I'm kind of proud of although there may be some unconventional or incorrect coding practices contained herein, as I am mostly self-taught with a dash of internet tutorials. The current version is a rough draft missing the options menu and the high score menu, but it is otherwise feature complete if lacking polish. The next version will have options and a high score function, and subsequent versions will include increasingly large vocabularies and more categories, as well as refined animations and sound. I put it up on GitHub so if anyone wants to take it and improve it or just fiddle around with it they are more than welcome to make their own version based on what I've written. I intend to continue improving this version for the practice, and it will remain free to use on GitHub.
