Hi all,
So, Please suggest how to design that game I tried facing an issue
a!localVariables( local!wordList: {"python", "hangman", "programming", "computer", "code"}, local!guessedLetters: {}, local!attemptsLeft: 6, local!currentDisplay: "", local!gameOver: false, local!winMessage: "Congratulations! You guessed the word: ", local!loseMessage: "Sorry, you ran out of attempts. The word was: ", local!wordToGuess: if(isnull(local!wordToGuess), rndindex(local!wordList), local!wordToGuess),a!sectionLayout( label: "Hangman Game", contents: { a!paragraph( text: "Welcome to Hangman!" ), a!paragraph( text: if( not(local!gameOver), concat("Current word: ", local!currentDisplay), if( length(local!wordToGuess) > 0, if( local!attemptsLeft = 0, concat(local!loseMessage, local!wordToGuess), concat(local!winMessage, local!wordToGuess) ), "" ) ) ), a!paragraph( text: if( not(local!gameOver), concat("Attempts left: ", local!attemptsLeft), "" ) ), a!textField( label: "Enter a letter:", instructions: "Type a single letter and press Enter.", value: "", saveInto: local!guessedLetters, validations: { message: "Invalid input. Please enter a single letter.", rule: and( not(isnull(local!guessedLetters)), not(isnull(local!guessedLetters[1])), not(isletter(local!guessedLetters[1])) ) } ), a!buttonWidget( label: "Guess", saveInto: { local!currentDisplay, local!attemptsLeft, local!gameOver }, value: if( and( not(local!gameOver), contains(local!wordToGuess, "_") ), a!forEach( items: split(local!wordToGuess, ""), expression: if( contains(local!guessedLetters, fv!item), fv!item, "_" ) ), "" ), validations: { a!validation( message: "Please enter a letter before guessing.", rule: length(local!guessedLetters) > 0 ) } ) }),)
Thank You In Advance

What is the issue you are facing?
Hi Meda Pravallika ,
Next time to insert the code, make sure to use the below available option which helps in better readability
Also, it's clearly mentioned that the error is with local!wordToGuess. You can't call the same local variable at the time of defining it initially. Also what is rndindex here?
You can use CHatGPT in such cases to understand the login and then create them on Appian. Much faster and more precise.
Can you help me with that code please
Hello Pravallika,
You need to tell what exactly is your requirement (I know you have mentioned it above but what is your expectation of the interface in Appian) and what Harshit is suggesting is you to try using chatGPT for getting a proper logic. You can build your code based on the logic you get from ChatGPT. I also recommend write down the points/steps in a sequential order as a story and start building your code. Just curious which version of Appian are you currently using?
