i am taking this scripting class and i need to pass it by December 22 and every week i have an assignment i try coming up with a solution but i get stuck. can Someone help me out with this power-shell Game. Bellow is the instruction and the power shell Script.
Instruction 1: As currently written, the game only has one custom function, which is responsible for determining if the player’s guesses are correct. However, there are numerous opportunities for further modularizing the script by reorganizing different parts of it into functions. review the code in the main processing section of the script and look for opportunities to enhance its organization with functions.
Instruction 2: The way the power-shell Hangman game is currently written, it is possible for the player to figure out what the game’s secret word is too late in the game for the player to have enough guesses left to finish supplying each of the letters the make up the secret word. Address this situation by giving the player the option of typing in the entire word in place of her last guess. (For Example: when there is only 1 remaining guess left ask the player if they would like to guess the whole word by typing it in.)
