Java Java Objects (Retired) Creating the MVP Prompting for Guesses

Error: Connot Find Symbol.... Symbol: method applyGuess(char)

I feel like I have followed the video exactly... I cannot find anything wrong? But its hard for me to be sure because the Game game variable is confusing me

I think the error I'm having is because its missing applyGuess() method? ... I didn't see anything in the video with that method?... "return mGame.applyGuess(guess);" is just confusing me entirely.

Heres what I have:

import java.io.Console;

public class Prompter {

private Game mGame;

public Prompter(Game game) { mGame = game; }

public boolean promptForGuess(){ Console console = System.console(); String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: "); char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0); return mGame.applyGuess(guess); }

}

Hi Brian - The applyGuess() method that takes a char was developed in the previous video "Storing Guesses". It is a method of the Game class.
