Hangman tkinter help - silverfang - Aug-03-2019
Code for game works. Except I cannot get the game end if the correct input is entered. For example if the word is 'mouse' and the user spells out 'mouse' before using all 7 guesses the game does not register that the user has the correct answer, and won't give the winning message. Any help is appreciated.

Here, you test for a win but don't do anything with it. You will have to set some boolean to True or False, based upon number of guesses, or when a player wins, which would end the game.
if '*' not in latestStr: #Finished with success
# Display success message, check for 1 more round
msg1="Congrts! The word is: "+word
msg2="To continue the game, press ENTER"
else: # Current alphabet is not in original word
missedLetters += (current+'')#Add letter to missed
count += 1 #Increment number of attempts
## or -----------------------------------------------
if count < 7 and not word_guessed():
msg1="Guess a word: "+ latestStr
msg2="Missed letter: "+ missedLetters
RE: Hangman tkinter help - silverfang - Aug-03-2019
I'm a bit confused on what you're saying. Could you explain more? Where do I need to set a true/false value?
RE: Hangman tkinter help - woooee - Aug-03-2019
Where you want to exit the game. True means continue playing the game/ask for the next letter.

Maybe I'm over thinking this... but I did the following and got an error. I'm stuck...

Where do you take the input or the guess? Mine doesnt take any input, what part of program does it exactly?
