Richard Suchenwirth 2003-07-01 - Yet another Tcltoy, runnable on PocketPC and elsewhere: a word-guessing game (also known as Hangman), where you propose letters and have to succeed before you're fully on the gallows. Adjust the word list words0 to your likings.

 set about "Gallows.tcl
   R. Suchenwirth 2003
   Powered by Tcl/Tk!

   Click on a black letter to see if it occurs in the word to be guessed.
   If not, the gallows grow by one part, and you lose 1 score.
   Win 1 score per guessed letter, and 10 per guessed word."

TV Nice. Good interaction. - RS: Yes - my 13-yo daughter snatched it out of my hand when she saw it, and played right away without needing explanations ;-)
