#Program name - COP 1000 Project 5
#Author - Charles Goggins
#Date - 11/8/2012
#Description: This program takes a word from a list and displays it to the
#player scrambled up. The player will have three chances to guess the word,
#after two incorrect guesses the program will provide the player with a hit
#to help him/her out.
#Algorithm:
# 1. Print COP 1000 header with introduction
# 2. Generate random word for scramblin'
# 3. Display scrambled word to player
# 4. Prompt player for guess #1
# a. If guess incorrect, print sorry, incorrect message
# b. If guess correct print good job message and go to step 7
# 5. Prompt player for guess #2
# a. If guess incorrect, print sorry, incorrect message and provide hint
# b. If guess correct print good job message and go to step 7
# 6. Prompt player for guess #3
# a. If guess incorrect, print sorry, this is incorrect and provide word
# b. If guess correct print good job message and go to step 7
# 7. Ask player if he/she would like to play again and return to step 1
#Imports the random module from the Python library
import random
#Creates a dictionary for the words
words = {'frisbee':'Something that spins after being thrown',
'xbox':'A popular game console',
'school':'A place where you go to learn',
'hamster':'A pet',
'toyota':'A brand of cars and trucks'}
#Function that prints the COP 1000 line and briefly explains the game
def Intro():
print('COP 1000 Project 5 - Charles Goggins')

#Selects a word from the dictionary at random and returns it it's caller
def getWord(word):
wordKey = random.choice(list(word.keys()))
return wordKey
#When the player types HELPME in the guess prompt, the program will provide a hint
def getHint():

#Does the same as getGuess1() but gets the player's second guess only if he/she didn't guess correctly the first time

return guess
