For this assignment, you will build a game of snowman that lets you play in the terminal!

1. Fork and clone this repository.

2. Navigate to the cloned repository's directory on your command line. Then, run the following command:

   npm install
   

   This will install the libraries needed to run the tests.

3. Open up the repository in VSCode. Follow the instructions below to complete the Lab.

You can run your code and start the game by running it with the node command.

node src/snowman.js

Alternatively, you can run the following command which will do the same thing.

npm start

Unlike other projects, this project does not have specific tests that you must pass. Instead, you must create a working game that fits a number of requirements.

To create this game, you have some existing code inside of src/snowman.js. That code is explained below. You may modify that code however you like, as long as you get a working game.

To play "Snowman", first a random word is picked and kept hidden. The player is shown a number of blank spaces equal to the length of the word.

Remaining Incorrect Guesses: 7
Letters Guessed: None
Word: _ _ _ _ _ _

The player may then guess a letter. If the letter appears in the hidden word, that letter will be shown in place of the space.

Remaining Incorrect Guesses: 7
Letters Guessed: a
Word: _ a _ _ _ _

If that letter appears multiple times, all instances of that letter are shown.

Remaining Incorrect Guesses: 7
Letters Guessed: a, r
Word: _ a r r _ _

If the player guesses an incorrect letter, that letter is recorded and the player "loses" a remaining guess.

Remaining Incorrect Guesses: 6
Letters Guessed: a, r, d
Word: _ a r r _ _

The game ends when either the word is picked or the player is out of remaining incorrect guesses. If they guess the word, they win!

The src/snowman.js file already has a few global variables for you to use and a few functions. Read the comments above and in each function to get a better sense of what each line of code does.

You should not need to change the readline or dictionary variables. You also should not need to change the getRandomWord() function. You will change the run() function.

Because the comments take up a lot of space, you should feel free to delete them once you understand what they are describing.

To complete this project your game will need to do the following.

• The user should see a number of _ characters equal to the number of letters in the word. For example, if the word is apple, the user should see _ _ _ _ _.
• If the user enters an invalid guess (e.g. 3 or apple), a message should display telling the user to enter a letter. Invalid guesses should not count against the guess count.
• After each guess:
  • The user should see the new updated word, replacing all _ with letters they have guessed. For example, if the user guesses p for the word apple, the user would see _ p p _ _.
  • The user should see the letters they have guessed already.
  • If the guess is incorrect, the number of remaining guesses should decrease.
  • If the guess is correct, the number of remaining guesses should stay the same.
  • Regardless of whether or not the guess is correct, the number of remaining guesses should be shown to the user.
• The game should continue until the user has won or lost.
• If the user wins, a message congratulating them should appear.
• If the user loses, the full word should be revealed and a message declaring defeat should appear.
