NEW ANSWER: for new code update

Again, you are missing a curly brace for the class.

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 have a hit!!");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss");
      }

    }//closing main
}//closing class

No problem, in school we were told to comment each of our closing curly braces so we would know how many more to add. Ever since I continue doing it.

That's not working for me. What am I doing wrong?

public class Hangman {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Enter amazing code goes 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");
  }
}

You re missing a closing curly brace, specifically one for the class

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);
  }
}

Yes I agree it is a good idea to comment your ending brackets, specifically, when you start to change/modify your code you can easily lose track of which bracket goes where.
