[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.
