Question

Create the game hangman using c code:

Program description
In the game of hangman, one player picks a word, and the other player has to try to guess what the word is by selecting one letter at a time. If they select a correct letter, all occurrences of the letter are shown. If no letter shows up, they use up one of their turns. The player is allowed to use no more than 10 incorrect turns to guess what the word is. They can guess the word at any time, but if they guess incorrectly, they lose a turn.

To simulate this game on a computer, the unknown word is stored in a simple text file (which only stores one word). The computer will display the word but with asterisks in place of letters. This lets the player know how many letters are in the word. The player is then asked to guess one of the 26 letters, or to guess what the word is. If they choose a letter, an updated version of the word is shown with that letter filled in, and their number of remaining turns remains fixed. If they make an incorrect guess, they lose a turn.

The program execution should look like the following (user input in bold text):

Give the filename with the unknown word: unknown1.txt

The word is: ********

Number of turns remaining: 10
Would you like to guess the word [w] or guess a letter [l]: l
What letter have you chosen?: a

Good choice! The word is: *****a**
Number of turns remaining: 10
Would you like to guess the word [w] or guess a letter [l]: l
What letter have you chosen?: o

Bad Choice The word is: *****a**
Number of turns remaining: 9
Would you like to guess the word [w] or guess a letter [l]: l
What letter have you chosen?: e

***********************************************

Good Choice! The word is: e*e**a**
Number of turns remaining: 9
Would you like to guess the word [w] or guess a letter [l]: l

etc...

Good Choice!
The word is: ele**ant
Number of turns remaining: 3
Would you like to guess the word [w] or guess a letter [l]: w

Do you want to play again [y/n]:

Your file should be called hangman.c. The files unknown1.txt and unknown2.txt can be used as sample input words, or you can make up your own.

/*
Program Hangman
Player has to find out secret word
Give a file name with different words line by line
Read word as secret word from file
Player has 2 choice guess a letter or word
Compare letter if it correct add into guess word
Otherwis not
compare guess word with secretword
if matched
Player win
If the number of turns to guess correct answer is 10 when turns reach 10 you lose
