\# vim: ft=groff .TH uhm 1 .SH NAME uhm \- ultra hangman .SH SYNPOSIS uhm [-h] [-w \fIword\fP] [-d \fIfile\fP] .SH DESCRIPTION Play a game of hangman, optionally using a custom dictionary or custom word. The terminal screen will always get cleared before playing. The player can input a single letter per turn. The player's turn is indicated by a caret '> ' prompt. When the word contains the input letter, the player keeps the same amount of turns. When the word does not contain the input letter, the player loses a turn. The game exits once all turns are depleted, or the player has guessed the word. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB-h\fP show help .TP \fB-w \fIword\fP set custom word to \fIword\fP .TP \fB-d \fIfile\fP load random word from dictionary \fIfile\fP. Any words containing spaces, apostrophes, or words longer than 12 characters will get filtered. \fIfile\fP must be a regular file. .SH AUTHOR Written by Loek Le Blansch. .SH COPYRIGHT MIT License Copyright (c) 2023 lonkaars Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
