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

Even though Java is case sensitive, shouldn't the Prompter class be made case insensitive, for ease of use?

In its current iteration, the Prompter class won't accept any capital letter from the user input as a hit. I would imagine that for ease of use considerations the class should not care about the case.

If such a feature were implemented, how would it be done? Perhaps convert the string to be guessed when instantiating a Game object into all lowercase and do the same for any letters inputted by the user. I think for a char variable we can use myChar.toLowerCase() and for a String variable we can use myString.equalsIgnoreCase(myOtherString) for a case insensitive comparison, or myString.toLowerCase().equals(myOtherString.toLowerCase()).
