C# Hangman Hang-up

Posted 11 May 2010 - 10:42 AM

Below is the code as it's written. I am trying to incorporate the word bank to replace the commented out mystery word. I am at a complete loss as to what to do to make this code work. Also, when the word is figured out, the program doesn't end. It keeps going and still displays the fully printed out word.

Any help/suggestions?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Hangman
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Console.Write("Welcome to Hangman! Please enter your guess: ");
            //string mysteryWord = "mysteryword";

            string[] wordBank = new string[10];
            wordBank[0] = "sheep";
            wordBank[1] = "handful";
            wordBank[2] = "ihateprogramming";
            wordBank[3] = "seventy";
            wordBank[4] = "watermelon";
            wordBank[5] = "squishy";
            wordBank[6] = "litter";
            wordBank[7] = "pineapple";
            wordBank[8] = "startrek";
            wordBank[9] = "starwars";
            Random randGen = new Random();
            string mysteryWord = randGen.ToString [wordBank [0,9]];

            char[] guess = new char[mysteryWord.Length];

            for (int p = 0; p < mysteryWord.Length; p++)
                guess[p] = '*';

            while(true)
            {
                Console.Write("Please enter your guess: ");
                char playerGuess = char.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                for (int j=0; j < mysteryWord.Length; j++)
                {
                    if (playerGuess == mysteryWord[j])
                        guess[j] = playerGuess;
                }
                Console.WriteLine(guess);
            }

        }
    }
}

You mean here?
string mysteryWord = randGen.ToString [wordBank [0,9]];
?

Generate a random number between 0 and 9, and use the generated number as the index to the array
var idx = randGen.Next(0, 9);
string mysteryWord = wordBank[idx];
