+# Hangman
+
+Implement the logic of the hangman game using functional reactive programming.
+
+Hangman is a simple word guessing game.
+
+[Functional Reactive Programming][frp] is a way to write interactive
+programs. It differs from the usual perspective in that instead of
+saying "when the button is pressed increment the counter", you write
+"the value of the counter is the sum of the number of times the button
+is pressed."
+
+Implement the basic logic behind hangman, optionally using functional 
+reactive programming. No additional library is necessary.
+
+[Hangman]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_%28game%29
+[frp]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_reactive_programming
+
+## Setup
+
+Go through the setup instructions for Javascript to install the necessary
+dependencies:
+
+[https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation](https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation)
+
+## Requirements
+
+Install assignment dependencies:
+
+```bash
+$ npm install
+```
+
+## Making the test suite pass
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ npm test
+```
+
+In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing `xtest` to
+`test`.
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have
+completed the exercise.
