Thanks for yet another fun hack that adds even more "stickiness" to a community! Simple to install, easy to play and modify. Great work!
And now, after the butter, I have three questions.
First, I wanted to raise the number of wrong guesses to 10, and so I created four more images (adding hands and feet, LOL) using the same naming convention (hangman_7.gif, etc.). I uploaded them, and then made the change from 6 to 10 in the vbhangman options in my cpanel. But while the number of guesses was changed, the new images aren't showing up. It just shows the same hangman_6.gif image. Is there something else I need to tweak to get the hack to display the extra four images?
Second: I added the template change to my default style as well as a secondary style. But I can't seem to get the hack to run displaying the secondary style -- I just get a blank page. Is it possible to have hangman.php show up in different styles, and if so, how?
Third: I'd like to use different sets of words, depending on different forum categories. Is it possible to create additional "categories" of word lists? Maybe by uploading/installing additional copies of the hangman.php script (renaming them hangman1.php and hangman2.php?)? I dunno, just hoping.
None of these are HUGE issues, and they sure don't take away from the enjoyment of the hack, which as I said is terrific. Thanks again!
