The Hangman Game

This document contains instructions and the source code for a "Hangman" word-guessing game designed for the PDP-8 computer using the FOCAL programming language.

The program requires a two-step process to run:

1. Setting the Word: One player loads the program, types "GOTO 10.10," and inputs the number of letters followed by the letters of the secret word (up to 20 characters). The screen should then be cleared so the guessing player cannot see the secret word.
2. Playing the Game: The second player types "GO" to start the game. The computer prompts them to guess letters. If the guess is correct, the computer reveals the positions of that letter in the word; if incorrect, it tracks the number of "wrong" guesses. The game continues until the player either successfully identifies the word or exhausts their allowed wrong guesses.

The document also provides the full FOCAL source code and a sample gameplay transcript.
