This week's Python coding challenge invites participants to develop the classic Hangman game with a movie theme, encouraging them to engage with design, iteration, data structures, and state management, potentially using classes. Participants are provided with a text file of the top 100 movies and code to load these into their programs, with the rest of the template left intentionally sparse to foster creativity. The challenge emphasizes logic, requiring a command-line interface, although GUI implementation is optional. Participants are also encouraged to invent a system for tracking and persisting scores, with a discussion of solutions planned at the end of the week. The challenge aims to enhance Python skills without prescribing a single best solution, and participants are invited to explore previous challenges or contribute new ones through GitHub.
