Hangman game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_(game)

Features

• Six mistakes are allowed
• Restart and exit by pressing 1 and 0, respectively
• Dictionary of 1500+ English words, obtained from this site using my own python parser
• I tried to make the user interface as friendly and intuitive as possible (a little bit of kaomoji)

Lessons Learned

It's my first Rust project, and I've never used it before. I wrote it immediately after reading the second chapter of The Rust Programming Language Book. I don't really get the "borrow" system, and the error handling is a little bit strange for me, but I enjoyed writing this project in Rust.

Roadmap

• Infinite game mode
• Colorful output for mistake and success guesses
• Difficulty levels based on word length
