4,752 Pointsmy code happens to not be working...I keep getting : Hangman.java 7 cannot find symbol prompter.promptForGuess();
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 is a miss");

private Game mGame;
public Prompter (Game game) { mGame = game; }
public boolean prompterForGuess() { Console console = System.console(); String guessAsString = console.readLine(" Enter a letter my dude: "); char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0); return mGame.applyGuess(guess); }
}

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; }
}
