- Objective
- To create a program which prompts a user to guess a word
- Purpose
- To gain familiarity with strings, arrays, and console input and output
Right away: Add your name as a comment to the Wordguess.java class, and do a "git trio" ->
git add .
git commit -m "added my name"
git push origin main
Check the web page for your repo, make sure your change has appeared there.
This is a simple game creation project. You are encouraged to make your game class and then to add cool things to it.
The game looks something like this when the player loses.

You Lost! You ran out of guesses.
Would you like to play again? (yes/no)

Game Over.
And like this if the player wins.

The idea is, the player...
- starts the game
- a random word is chosen from a list
- the number of tries allowed is set to the length of the word
- setup the two (the solution and the player's guesses) character arrays
- WHILE the numbers of tries is less than tries allowed AND
- the player has not guessed the word
- print the current state of the player's guesses
- ask the player for a letter (a character)
- if the letter is a minus "-", quit the game
- else process the letter
- if the letter makes the work complete,
- the player wins
- after the while loop
- if the word is not guessed, player loses
Now, another twist to the game is to add an "outer loop" which asks the player if they would like to play again. This outer loop would surround the logic in the outline above.
But for v1, just create the game to play a single word each time it is run. Once you have that running, add the outer loop. Call it v2.
Write the main Wordguess class, and the needed game methods. Try to keep your methods small. If the methods get too big, break them up into smaller pieces with other methods. Read Notes.md to understand more about how you might design the internals of the Wordguess class.
BE SURE to do git commits along the way. You don't want to lose any code.
