Here is Game.java:
public class Game {
private String mAnswer;
private String mHits;
private String mMisses;
public Game(String answer) {
mAnswer = answer;
mHits = "";
mMisses = "";
}
public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >= 0;
if (isHit) {
mHits += letter;
} else {
mMisses += letter;
}
return isHit;
}
}
Here is Prompter.java:
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);
}
Here is Hangman.java:
public class Hangman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Enter amazing code here:
Game game = new Game("treehouse");
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
boolean isHit = prompter.promptForGuess();
if (isHit) {
System.out.println("We got a hit!");
} else {
System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss");
}
}
}
