Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Hangman game, but since I can’t use a stickfigure being “hung,” I’m looking for alternatives. Here’s a quick breakdown of how Hangman works:
In Hangman, one player thinks of a word, and the other guesses letters. Correct guesses fill in the blanks, while incorrect guesses result in losing a life. For each wrong guess, a stickfigure’s body is drawn (head, limbs, etc.) to represent the mistakes. The game ends when the word is guessed or all lives are lost.
I originally uploaded a typical stickfigure (frame-by-frame), as seen in most versions of the game, but it was flagged and deleted. I understand why, though I didn’t initially realize how it could be seen as offensive, even though it’s from a children’s game.
(Picture in question)
I’ve considered using a regular stickfigure floating in mid-air, but it feels a bit too plain. I’d prefer to avoid that if possible.
Any suggestions for a suitable replacement would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
