Description
Embark on a programming adventure with "Applied Fundamentals: Hangman," where you'll apply your foundational coding skills to build the time-honored game of Hangman from scratch. This course, guided by Justin and Vonne, starts with an overview of how learning fundamental programming can be empowering and immediately useful. Through a series of meticulously planned videos, you'll journey from conceptualizing the project, setting up the structure, to implementing the game's core mechanics such as taking guesses, determining correct answers, and enhancing user interface. As the course progresses, you'll dive into refining the code by refactoring into functions, adding a scoreboard, and implementing win/lose conditions, all while ensuring your Hangman game is as engaging as it is functional. This hands-on approach not only solidifies your understanding of programming concepts but also hones your problem-solving and project management skills, preparing you for future software development projects.
