hangman.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
 
require 'pry'
 
fruits =["pineapple", "kiwi" , "peach" , "pear" , "guava" , "strawberry" , "banana" , "lemon" , "watermelon"]
 
word = fruits.sample 
guesses = 8
hidden =  "_" * word.length
 
puts "Welcome to Hangman!"

puts
 
guessed_letters = []
 
while guessed_letters != word
 
  print "Word: "
  puts hidden
  puts "Chances remaining: #{guesses}"
  puts "Guess a single letter (a-z) or the entire word:"

 guess = gets.chomp
 
  if guess.length > 1
    if guess == word
      puts "You win!"
      break
    else
      puts "You lose..."
      break
    end
  elsif guess.length == 1
    guessed_letters << guess
    occurances = guessed_letters.count(guess)
 
    if word.include?(guess)
      puts "Found #{occurances} occurance(s) of the character #{guess}"
    else
      guesses -=1
      puts "Sorry, no #{guess}'s here"
    end
  end
 
  hidden = word.gsub(/[^"#{guessed_letters.join}"]/, "_")
 
  if word == hidden
    puts "Congratulations, you've guessed the fruit!"
    break
 
  elsif guesses == 0
      puts "You're out of chances! Better luck next time, beefcake..."
      exit
