React Hangman Game

A simple React Hangman game. Driven by the OwlBot API.

A simple React HangMan game made with Create-React-App. This was a learning exercise for me to get into and play around with React and React Hooks.

The Game
A simple React Hangman game.

It is based on a tutorial from the Traversy Media YouTube channel.

But I extended it a bit, by adding a random word generator and the OwlBot API for word lookups. The OwlBot API enabled me to extend this relatively simple game, with other functionalty like a hint system.

Installation

  • git clone git@github.com:DalkMania/react-hangman.git
  • cd react-hangman
