[Hangman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_%28game%29) is a words guessing game for one player. The computer guesses a word and the user has to suggest letters one by one. Every time the word contains a letter, the computer opens it (all of them, if there are a few). Every time the word doesn't contain a letter, the computer gives a penalty point for the user. If there are five penalty points, the user looses. If there are no hidden letters anymore, the computer looses.

First, build it:

$ mvn clean package

Then, run:

$ java -classpath target/classes hangman.Main

This Java code is very procedural, imperative, and not elegant at all. Read about [Elegant Objects](https://www.elegantobjects.org) and then try to refactor this code and improve. You're welcome to create new classes, new methods, anything. Just make sure it still builds. When ready, please submit a pull request.
