Creating a Hangman Game with Visual Studio C# Form Application
Creating a Hangman Game with Visual Studio C# Form Application
Hello friends, in this post, I will explain how you can create a hangman game on a Form Application using Visual Studio and C#. Let’s get started right away without making the introduction too long.If we talk about the features of the game;
It presents the player with a random word and asks them to find it, gives as many lives as the number of letters in the word, and each mistake decreases the number of lives. Then, with a simple mathematical calculation, when lives reach 0, the character is fully hanged. It allows guessing the word and letters, and if you guess the word correctly, it says you have guessed it correctly. If you guess the letters correctly, it shows where in the word that letter appears.
Elements I used
- 2 panels
- 8 picture boxes
- 3 buttons
- 5 labels
- 1 textbox
Visually, the form design part should look like this.
Of course, the start game panel here needs to be fixed to the far left and top, and I moved the elements to the side for you to see them.
I will provide the code directly, as it is already explained in the code.

Also, with the latest system I added, by including a timer and an extra label, the elapsed time is shown to the user in our project.
You can use the link below to access the source files of the application I created.
