Description

Hi,


I am happy to present you the step by step process of building a complete Hangman/Guess the word game simulator by using Java programming language.

In the following sections, you will get to interact with multiple components that are part of the Java Swing Framework, such as:

JFrame

JPanel

MouseAdapter

ActionListener

JMenu

JLabel

any many more

In terms of development, we will use one of the most popular frameworks on the market, that is Spring Boot, and as a database to store our data, we will connect Spring Boot with MySQL as a relational database.
