Hangman for PDP-12

This document describes the 'Hangman for PDP-12' program, a digital adaptation of the traditional pencil-and-paper stick-figure guessing game. The program, authored by Jud Gilbert at Florida State University in 1970, allows one player to enter a word or phrase and a clue, while another player guesses letters. The game tracks incorrect guesses, with six errors resulting in a loss. The write-up provides basic instructions for running the program using LAP6-DIAL and includes a brief example of gameplay.
