Installation :
---------------

Simple.

1) Upload vbhangman_install.php to your admin directory, and run it, and then follow the instructions (you can run it again to uninstall this hack). This will add settings to your database automatically. Delete this file after you have done this.

2) Upload hangman.php to your forum directory.

3) Make a hangman subdirectory in your images directory. Upload the image files to the images/hangman subdirectory.

4) Make a new template "hangman" and add the contents of the hangman.txt file into this.

5) Go to your Admin CP, then to the vBulletin Options section, and set whether you want guests to have access to Hangman, how many attempts you allow (default is 6, any higher and you will need to add your own custom hangman images), and then add your words. Separate each word or words or each sentence with a comma. For example...

hello,yahoo!,3 blind mice,12 apostles,vbulletin,good morning,good afternoon,this is cool

(numbers and special characters are fine!)

Then, just go to http://www.yourforums.com/forums/hangman.php to play Hangman!

Enjoy!

Not at all

I was thinking of something that would be really cool, if you plan on a Version 2.0...

A "User Submit & Moderation" bit to the hangman file...

So that users can submit words, therefore meaning that people like myself dont always get 100% correct because I knew what words I put it

Thanks!

The problem with that idea is that if you allow users to submit words, you must moderate all the words (otherwise some rude or nonsensical words may be submitted) - either way you will see all the words used. Mind you, if you have enough words for Hangman, you will still have trouble remembering which 5-letter word you have entered.

installed it and it works beautifully... of course.
cool work doc.

Lesane store version of hack

it pays 100 points to winner or takes 50 if they lose.

just use the included hangman.php instead :]

[updated this version to 1.2 with random bug fix. ]

[Buddha]

a suggestion would be to include a field for "theme" and display that on the hangman page. i did it through replacements... as i'm practically useless when it comes to php.

Cool hack, I've just installed it and messed about with the templates to make it part of the arcade.

Cool

@Erwin - Yeh...Thats my hope

If enough are submitted, it is purely guesswork then

Satan

[Ninth Dimension]

some suggestions for you, if you want to make them that is

1, Although a lot more hard work, maybe you can allow words with descriptions and spaces, numbers, etc...

2, although cheating (by pressing the back button) is not really a major problem (after all, the only person they are cheating is themselves), maybe this can be prevented?

3, something that I would like to see is some type of intregration with the arcade so users can play and will get a score based on the number of correct words guessed (but maybe this could wait for a more advanced verson of the script)

if I think of anymore, i'll let you know

[xware]

nice hack! Installed.
but if a user press the back button he could paly again and guess all words.
