Taimar offered up a cool HangMan game that he was using for entertaining his daughter, and I gladly accepted the donation. I didn't care much for the graphics, though (standard stickman). So I have changed the look.

Please look at the temporary location http://www.barrowdowns.com/thangman.htmHERE</a>. I am still having probs fitting it into the normal site design, so this is not the final look of the page.

How does this work for you?

R., the new graphics are a stroke of genius. Nice one!

Looks utterly wicked! It took me four massacres before I realized that JRRT's average letter distribution is quite different than that for English in general. I think I might have it licked now.

Pure genius!

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

Re: A quiz (of sorts): A hangman game at the Downs.

Pretty cool. Nevertheless, I am deeply concerned about the welfare of Taimar's daughter, after going through the experience of watching simulated hobbit massacres. After all, it has been classified as being disturbing to young children.

Re: A quiz (of sorts): A hangman game at the Downs.

The `hanging hobbits` is actually the work of RKittle, so my daughter has never been exposed to those particular images. However, since her favourite film is `Aliens` I doubt that she would find them distressing.

The 9 year old Claire `may be disturbing to some adults`.

Re: A quiz (of sorts): A hangman game at the Downs.

I only have one complaint: repetition. Just a moment ago I got the same word three times in a row, and then again a few words later.

Re: A quiz (of sorts): A hangman game at the Downs.

The chances of that are remote indeed. There are one thousand unique words in the database, and each has the same chance of selection.
