Python Day 7 Challange: Hangman Game

Hangman Game Combines word knowledge, deduction and strategy.
In this game, one player think of a word and other player has to guess the word. In this game, only predetermined number of incorrect guesses are allowed. For every incorrect guess, you end up taking a life a away from the man. He has only limited number of lives. After all incorrect guesses, man is hanged from gallow and player lose.
Here is the description of hangman program:

  1. Word Selection : Word is chosen from predetermined list and kept secret from player.
  2. Word Display : Each letter of Word is displayed using underscore, indicating length of the chosen word
  3. Guess Game: The player guess a letter they think might be in the word. If the guess in the word, all the occurance of that letter is displayed in the correct position. if the guess is incorrect, one life is deducted from gallow figure and draw the remaining part of it and display.
  4. Win or Lose. Guessing continous until player guess all letter correctly or make too many incorrect guesses. If player guess the word in first attempt or make all correct guess, he wins and saves the gallow man. Otherwise gallow man is hanged and player lose.
