Quick and dirty fix would be to just initialize guess variable on line 15 of prompter class like: char guess = 0;

For the rest of the application if you want to stick to good practices don't make public fields - private class fields and getters/setters are the way to go :) Also everywhere i looked (learning materials i mean) class names started with capital letters, on first looking of your code I was like "what happend here?? I always thought it should be Game game or something...":

public prompter(game Game) { mGame = Game; }

then again it compiles so from compiler standpoint it's all good ;)
