I Built a Python Hangman Game and Pushed My First Project to GitHub

Hey everyone, I recently started learning to code — and instead of just watching tutorials, I decided to build something.

This is my first real project as a beginner: a Hangman game written in Python. It’s also my first time using GitHub to store and share my work publicly.

---

🔧 What I Used

• Python (basic syntax, loops, input/output)
• Random module
• collections.Counter for comparison
• Basic terminal I/O
• Git + GitHub

---

🎮 What I Built

A classic Hangman game that:

• Chooses a random word from a list
• Asks the user to guess one letter at a time
• Shows blanks and correctly guessed letters
• Tracks chances and ends the game if you win or lose

---

📁 GitHub Repo

🔗 Hangman Python Game

I added a clean README.md file and structured the repo properly, something I’m trying to get better at early on.

---

💡 Key Takeaways

• Start small — one finished project is worth more than 10 tutorials.
• GitHub is powerful — even beginners should use it from day one.
• Keep learning in public — it builds consistency and community.

🛣️ What’s Next

I’m currently learning HTML + CSS, and I’ll be building static sites soon. After that, I plan to start JavaScript projects.

Every project I build will go up on GitHub and I’ll be posting weekly updates on X and Hashnode.

If you’re also learning or building in public, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas:
