Im trying to follow a tutorial to write a simple "Hangman style game", It runs ok, if you guess the letter correctly however, on your 1st incorrect guess the programme displays the 2nd ASCII graphic and not the 1st. when you guess your 2nd incorrect letter the 3rd graphic comes up but it is "distorted" like this:

Sorry, z isn't what we're looking for.

        +---------+

        |         |

        |         O

        |        -|-

        |        /             |

    ================

finally you make a 3rd incorrect guess and I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./HangMan.py", line 118, in <module>

start()

File "./HangMan.py", line 44, in start

while game():

File "./HangMan.py", line 79, in game

hangedman(letters_wrong)

File "./HangMan.py", line 39, in hangedman

print graphic[hangman]

IndexError: list index out of range

• any advice would be appreciated.




• Sorry theres no comments on my code I'm VERY new to this..

Heres my code:

from random import *





player_score = 0



computer_score = 0



def hangedman(hangman):

    graphic = [
