Java

Is a class considered an object? Or does it only describe qualities and functions when assigned to other objects?

In this instance, we define the "Game class" and then use it in Hangman.java. Is it considered an object only once defined in the main java file?

Yes, once you create an instance of a class somewhere, then that instance is considered an object. A class is a blueprint from which objects are created.
