A few days ago, I said that I was starting to learn Python. I am doing exactly that.

I have published this game on <a href="https://github.com/holoz0r/SplinterlandsHangman">GitHub</a>, and while it has many issues, Please remember that I am at day 7 of my journey to learning Python. 

I might come back to this project as I get better, and improve upon it; but for the time being, it is a fun little project built out from the skeleton of the course I am following. 

If you're a crazy experienced developer, please poke holes in my code and tell me why and how it can be improved. I'd love to know! 

```python
import random
from hangmanart import *
from hangmanwords import word_list

end_of_game = False
chosen_word = random.choice(word_list)
word_length = len(chosen_word)
lives = 6
print(logo)
#Testing code
# print(f'Pssst, the solution is {chosen_word}.')

display = []
for _ in range(word_length):
    display += "_"

while not end_of_game:
    guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()

    for position in range(word_length):
        letter = chosen_word[position]
        if letter == guess:
            display[position] = letter 

    if guess not in chosen_word and lives >0:
      lives -= 1
      print(f"You have {lives} lives left.")
      if lives == 0:
        end_of_game = True
        print("You Lose!")
        print(f"The Correct answer was {chosen_word}.")
    print(f"{' '.join(display)}")

    if "_" not in display:
      end_of_game = True
      print("You win.")

    print(stages[lives])
```

Until next time...
