I Built a Python Hangman Game and Pushed My First Project to GitHub

Hey everyone, I recently started learning to code — and instead of just watching tutorials, I decided to build something.

This is my first real project as a beginner: a Hangman game written in Python. It’s also my first time using GitHub to store and share my work publicly.

🔧 What I Used

Python (basic syntax, loops, input/output)
Random module
collections.Counter for comparison
Basic terminal I/O
Git + GitHub

🎮 What I Built

A classic Hangman game that:

Chooses a random word from a list
Asks the user to guess one letter at a time
Shows blanks and correctly guessed letters
Tracks chances and ends the game if you win or lose

📁 GitHub Repo

🔗 Hangman Python Game

I added a clean README.md file and structured the repo properly, something I’m trying to get better at early on.

💡 Key Takeaways

Start small — one finished project is worth more than 10 tutorials.
GitHub is powerful — even beginners should use it from day one.
Keep learning in public — it builds consistency and community.

🛣️ What’s Next

I’m currently learning HTML + CSS, and I’ll be building static sites soon. After that, I plan to start JavaScript projects.

Every project I build will go up on GitHub and I’ll be posting weekly updates on X and Hashnode.

✅ Connect

If you’re also learning or building in public, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas:
