Yes. Consider the basic structure of a single game:
Guess a letter.
Is it correct? Do something.
Otherwise it is wrong, do another thing.
And repeat until done.
So there's your basic loop structure. You would write it something like
this:
while True: # Loop forever. We'll break out of the loop when done.
guess a letter
if letter in secret_word:
# handle a correct guess
# if all the letters are shown, break out of the loop
else:
# handle a wrong guess
# if the guy has been hanged, break out of the loop
if won:
print("Yay, you won!")
else:
print("You got hanged!")
Use the "break" command to escape the infinite loop, e.g. something like
this:
while True:
# more code goes here...
if won:
break
That should give you somewhere to start.
