Write a Hangman game!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_(game).
In your game, computer chooses a word randomly and shows how many letters it has. Then user can guess
the letters in the word, user have 6 chances for wrong guesses. With every wrong guess, the picture of man
being hanged will be completed. Your program will have a Main menu with 3 options, New Game, Score
and Quit. The program needs to have at least 3 functions:
a. selectWord to make a random selection of words that has been attached to homework description.
b. drawMan to draw the hanging man regarding to your situation.
c. checkWord to check the input letter and print out the correctly guessed letters and print dashes for
the remaining letters.

Hangman list
#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>
main()
{
      int index;
      char list[65][13]={{"sailboat"}, {"school"}, {"rug"}, {"chalk"}, {"tusk"}, {"camera"}, {"pajamas"}, {"cello"}, {"cake"}, {"beehive"}, {"gate"}, {"swing"}, {"lighthouse"}, {"toe"}, {"newspaper"}, {"stingray"}, {"brain"}, {"french"}, {"purse"}, {"soda"}, {"money"}, {"dryer"}, {"scale"}, {"clam"}, {"knee"}, {"artist"}, {"stomach"}, {"ticket"}, {"face"}, {"TV"}, {"can"}, {"blowfish"}, {"popsicle"}, {"beaver"}, {"snowball"}, {"dollar"}, {"sprinkler"}, {"hair"}, {"bathroom"}, {"rain"}, {"skirt"}, {"beach"}, {"suitcase"}, {"garden"}, {"doormat"}, {"pretzel"}, {"watering"}, {"fur"}, {"birthday"}, {"fries"}, {"owl"}, {"chin"}, {"spool"}, {"mushroom"}, {"peach"}, {"pelican"}, {"pineapple"}, {"flagpole"}, {"doghouse"}, {"boot"}, {"flute"}, {"quilt"}, {"hook"}, {"rainbow"}, {"happy"}};
      srand(time(NULL));
      index=rand()%65;
      printf("%s ",list[index]);
      system("PAUSE");
}
