Projects/Edu/Khangman/QA List 2.5
List of expected behaviors for KHangMan 2.5.
Keyboard commands
- [Alt-U] focuses the guess box
- When the guess box is selected, typing a character causes it to appear inside. It should only hold one character, and that character must be a letter.
- [Enter] makes the guess and clears the box – see #Gameplay below for details.
Gameplay
After entering a guess, if it is...
- Correct
- Update answer area. If all letters have been guessed, show "Congratulations! You won!" and start a new game.
- Incorrect
- Update misses area and hangman image. If the misses area is full, show "You lost. The word was _____."
- Already guessed
- Display an error message.
The box is then cleared so the user can enter another guess.
