Introduction

This tutorial covers:

• Application of the state pattern to the hangman project.
• Preparation for programming project #1.

Programming project #1 asks you to write a GUI program to play hangman.  One of the key data structures for this program is a linear recursive structure similar to that of a list to store the characters of a word to be guessed.  A detailed description of this data structure is given at the link: ../../projects/hangman/wordlist.html, Go to this link and follow the directions that are there.  By completing the exercises in this link, you will have completed a non-trivial part of the programming project.

Your labbies will give you guidance but will not help you write the code.
