**Our version of the classic Hangman game -- Allows you to practice your **

**character shapes by confirming your written letter before trying guess! **





INSTALLATION:

Install Dangling Participle using either the the Connection Kit or the Newton ToolKit.  DanglinU will appear in your Extras Drawer.  Tap DanglinU to begin.





USING DANGLING PARTICIPLE:

Step 1:  Tap the New Game button.



Step 2:  A number of blank spaces will appear above the entry controls.  Write your guess in the dotted box.  The recognized lower case character will appear in the button to the right.  To try out that letter, tap the button.  If the letter is incorrect, try and write your letter in the dotted box again.



HINTS:  If you get stumped, tap the Hint button and a hint will appear in the button.  Tap it to try the letter.  The number of hints left and/or if they are disabled are shown at the bottom of the screen.



SETTINGS:  To change the settings, tap the Settings button.  The difficulty settings vary the length of the word randomly picked, and the Hint enabler/disabler does just that.



* LETTER HINT:  The letter "L" is a bit tricky to write out of the context of a word.  One way to let your Newton know that the "L" is not an "I" or an "E" is to write another letter after it.  For example, "le" lets it know that the "l" is taller than the "e" and therefore an "L."



FUTURE PLANS:

In future versions, we are planning to add high scores, custom dictionaries, two player games (one trying to stump the other), and phrases.
