So I was following this tutorial on youtube however when it comes to running the program, nothing shows up on the terminal while my CPU doubles in usage. I am using VScode to run this program. PS. I am very new to this and I always have frequent trouble when it comes to coding in general so i decided to resort in asking questions.
import random
from words import words
import string
def get_valid_word(words):
word = random.choice(words) #randomly chooses something from the list
while '-' in word or '' in word: #helps pick words that have a dash or space in it
word = random.choice(words)
return word.upper() #returns in uppercase
def hangman():
word = get_valid_word(words)
word_letters = set(word) # saves all the letters in the word
alphabet = set(string.ascii_uppercase) #imports predetermined list from english dictionary
used_letters = set() #keeps track of what user guessed
#getting user input
while len(word_letters) > 0: #keep guessing till you have no letters to guess the word
#letters used
#'' .join (['a', 'b', 'cd']) --> 'a, b cd'
print('you have used these letters: ',' '.join(used_letters))
#what the current word is (ie W - R D)
word_list = [letter if letter in used_letters else '-' for letter in word]
print('current word: ',' '.join(word_list))
user_letter = input('Guess a letter: ')
if user_letter in alphabet - used_letters: #letters haven't used
used_letters.add(user_letter) #add the used letters
if user_letter in word_letters: #if the letter that you've just guessed is in the word then you remove that letter from word_letters. So everytime you've guessed correctly from the word letters which is keeping track of all the letters in the word decreases in size.
word_letters.remove(user_letter)
elif user_letter in used_letters:
print('You have used this')
else:
print('Invalid')
#gets here when len(word_letters) == 0
hangman()
