We got a Hangman assignment for my Class at Java.
I m just a begginer.And the whole input/output thing is done either by console (system.out.println) or with JOptionPane.
So here is my code
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.*;
public class Hangman
{
public static void main (String a [])
{
//////////////////
String word = "";
int badGuesses;
//////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
String difficulty = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Select difficulty : 1 for easy -- 2 for normal -- 3 for hard");
int intDifficulty = Integer.parseInt(difficulty);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

}
}
I got some problems here.
First I need my word to be in an array so to check if the input is correct or not.With an array ill be able to check double letters also! So I just dont know what to do with the input I got from
System.out.print("Please enter a letter in lower case only!");
letter = letterProvided.nextLine();
Any ideas? =\
Secondly i need a counter about badGuesses (because we have to set a maximum number of wrong letters that someone will give ) , but i cant figure out where i should put the loop and do
badGuesses--;
Thank you a lot for reading my post =)
