when I try to make an object in java-repl it cant recognize the symbol Game game = new Game("treehouse");

i tried to find errors in each class by typing javac Prompter.java javac Game.java javac Hangman.java

all of the classes have no errors; however after typing :load Game.java and then typing Game game = new Game("treehouse"); i get an error message saying that it cant find the symbol Game.

please post Game.java class please

Looks to me that there is no constructor that takes first argument "String"...

So in order to call Game game = new Game("treehouse")

You have to have the following in your Game class...

public class Game {
   // some code
   // construtor that you are calling when type
   // Game game = new Game("treehouse")
   public Game(String name) {
     // some code
   }
}

If there is no such constructor than you should have this error but I'm not sure

So post Game class
