I am getting 6 tries instead of 7...

When I run the program on the console I am getting "You have 6 tries left to solve" instead of 7... I don't know what it could be... At the begining I thought that was a scope issue but it doesn't seem that

I think your issue is that you are initializing misses to a space instead of an empty string. So the first time through misses.length will equal 1.

// in Game.java
// should be "" not " " (also hits should be fixed)
misses = " ";

// then this should be evaluated correctly
public int getRemainingTries(){
    return MAX_MISSES - misses.length();
  }
