In this video, we're going to build a basic command line Hangman game in Python! I will take you through every step and explain what each chunk of code does and how it works. By the end, hopefully you'll have a better understanding of how we can piece together pieces of Python code to build our own projects.

This is a very basic and beginner level project, however starting off with something like a command line hangman game can be a great way to get a grasp of how Python concepts are applied. The project building phase should typically happen right after you've done some learning of the basic Python concepts, like variables, loops, functions, etc. If you haven't already done that, check out my FULL Python Tutorial here:
