Question

Python Problem

Hello i am trying to finish this code it does not save guesses or count wrong guesses. When printing hman it needs to only show _ and letters together. For example if the word is amazing and guess=a it must print a_a_ _ _ _ not a_ _ _ _ and _a_ _ _ separately or with spaces. The guess has a maximum of 8 wrong guesses so for every wrong guess the game must count it if it reaches 8 the game must end.

def hangman(inf):
infile = open(inf,"r")
hanglist=[]
hide=[]
man=[]
import random
for line in infile:
hanglist.append(line)
word=random.choice(hanglist)#is a str
hide=len(word)
man=(hide-1)*' _ '
  
#close the file   
infile.close()
return (man,word)

#main driver program
print('insert dictionary.txt to start')
inf = input('what is your file? ')
#call the function
man1, word1 = hangman(inf)
print('welcome to Hangman')
game=input('Would you like to play?y/n')
while game=='y'and answer!=8:
print(word1)
answer=1
guess=input('Enter a character')
for i in range(0,len(word1)):#include guess?
if word1[i]==guess:
hman=list(man1)
hman[2*i+1]=guess# i=2*i+1
hman.remove( ' ', )
print(hman)
else:
answer=+1
print('not correct, you have'+str(answer-8)+' '+'left')
