Treehouse TeacherAnything look strange about this line to you?
private Game mgame;

Treehouse TeacherDid you set mGame in the Prompter constructor? Might help to share your code?

1,486 Points// Hi Craig, here are from prompter. I cannot find the error, still.
import java.io.Console;
public class Prompter {
private Game mgame;
public Prompter(Game game) {
mGame = game;
}
public void play {
while (mGame.getRemainingTries() > 0) {
displayProgress();
promptForGuess();
}
}
public boolean promptForGuess() {
Console console = System.console();
boolean isHit = false;
boolean isValidGuess = false;
while (!isValidGuess) {
String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: ");
char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0);
try {
isHit = mGame.applyGuess(guess);
isValidGuess = true;
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
console.printf("%s. Please try again.\n", iae.getMessage());
}
}
return isHit;
}
public void displayProgress() {
System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve this: %s\n",
mGame.getRemainingTries(),
mGame.getCurrentProgress());
}
}
