    <p>Just getting into python, and so I decided to make a hangman game. Works good, but I was wondering if there was any kind of optimizations I could make or ways to clean up the code. Also, if anyone could recommend a project that I could do next that'd be cool.</p> <pre><code>import sys import codecs import random def printInterface(lst, attempts): """ Prints user interface which includes: - hangman drawing - word updater """ for update in lst: print (update, end = '') if attempts == 1: print ("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t _____________") elif attempts == 2: print (""" | | | | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 3: print (""" ______ | | | | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 4: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 5: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | | | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 6: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | /| | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 7: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | /|\ | | | | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 8: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | /|\ | | | / | | | ______|______""") elif attempts == 9: print (""" ______ | | | | (x_X) | | | /|\ | | | / \ | | | ______|______""") def main(): try: wordlist = codecs.open("words.txt", "r") except Exception as ex: print (ex) print ("\n**Could not open file!**\n") sys.exit(0) rand = random.randint(1,5) i = 0 for word in wordlist: i+=1 if i == rand: break word = word.strip() wordlist.close() lst = [] for h in word: lst.append('_ ') attempts = 0 printInterface(lst,attempts) while True: guess = input("Guess a letter: ").strip() i = 0 for letters in lst: if guess not in word: print ("No '{0}' in the word, try again!".format(guess)) attempts += 1 break if guess in word[i] and lst[i] == "_ ": lst[i] = (guess + ' ') i+=1 printInterface(lst,attempts) x = lst.count('_ ') if x == 0: print ("You win!") break elif attempts == 9: print ("You suck! You iz ded!") break if __name__ == '__main__': while True: main() again = input("Would you like to play again? (y/n): ").strip() if again.lower() == "n": sys.exit(1) print ('\n') </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
