Constructor Detail

Game

public Game()

Method Detail

isWin

public boolean isWin()

Returns true if the player has guessed all letters in the word.

---

getLetters

public char[] getLetters()

Returns an array of letters that have been guessed by the player, with an underscore for each unguessed position. Once the player loses, this returns the array of actual letters in the target word.

The caller must not modify this array.

---

getIncorrectGuessesLeft

public int getIncorrectGuessesLeft()

Returns the number of incorrect guesses remaining. An incorrect guess when this is already zero results in a loss.

---

getGuessedLetters

public boolean[] getGuessedLetters()

Returns an array of flags indicating which letters have already been guessed. There are 26 flags, one for each letter, starting with 'A' at index 0, up to 'Z' at index 25.

The caller must not modify this array.

---

start

public void start(java.lang.String word)

Initializes the Game with a new target word. This resets the incorrectGuessesLeft count, and initializes the array of letters and letters guessed.

---

makeGuess

public boolean makeGuess(char letter)

The player makes a guess. If the letter has already been guessed, then no change occurs. Otherwise, there's a check to see if the guess fills in any positions in the target word. This may result in a win. If the guess doesn't match any letter of the word, then a failure occurs; when enough failures occur, the game results in a loss.
