Play JavaScript Hangman Game

This is one of the coolest JavaScript hangman games I've seen--just ask me (...I wrote the underlying JavaScript engine it uses while I was learning to program for the Web. ;-) It was written a long, long time ago--but it still works all these years later, and shows some examples of separating programming code and tasks for reuse. In Internet Explorer it includes sound effects. Also, it separates the pictures used on the gallows, and the word lists in order to support themes.

Here are various themes created to use the engine:
