Question

I need help with this. I need to create the hangman game using char arrays. I've been provided with the three following classes to complete it. I have no idea where to start. HELP!!

1.

/**

* This class contains all of the logic of the hangman game.

* Carefully review the comments to see where you must insert

* code.

*

*/

public class HangmanGame {

private final Integer MAX_GUESSES = 8;

private static HangmanLexicon lexicon = new HangmanLexicon();

private Integer guesses;

private char [] hiddenWord; //word the user is trying to guess

private char [] userWord; // The word visible to the user(example: C--ONN---)

/**

* This constructor initialized guesses, hiddenWord and userWord.

*

* @param index This is the index that is passes to the HangmanLexicon.

* @throws Exception Will throw an exception when a index is invalid

*/

public HangmanGame(Integer index) throws Exception {

super();

//Put code here

}

// Don't change

public Integer getMaxGuesses() {

return MAX_GUESSES;

}

// Don't change

public Integer getGuesses() {

return guesses;

}

// Don't change

public char[] getUserWord() {

return userWord;

}

/**

* This method accepts a guess and determines if it is correct or not.

* It will look to see if the guess is a valid character and sees

* if the character is found in the hiddenWord attribute.

* If it is found, it updates the userWord attribute.

* @param guess The user's guess

* @return Returns true if the character guess was found. If the character was not found, return false.

*/

public Boolean guessChar(char guess)

{

// Put code here

}

/**

* Returns true if the game is lost.

* @return

*/

public Boolean isGameLost()

{

// Put code here

}

/**

* Returns true if the game is won.

* @return

*/

public Boolean isGameWon()

{

// Put code here

  

}

//Don't change

public static Integer getWordCount()

{

return lexicon.getWordCount();

}

}

2.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HangmanConsole {

public static void main(String[] args)

{

//Put code here

//Hint: Put a loop here

}

}

3.

/*

* This class provides the words for the hangman game.

* Do not alter any of the contents of this file!

*/

public class HangmanLexicon {

/** Returns the number of words in the lexicon. */

public int getWordCount() {

return 10;

}

/**

* Returns the word at the specified index.

*

* @throws Exception

*/

public String getWord(int index) throws Exception {

switch (index) {

case 0:

return "BUOY";

case 1:

return "COMPUTER";

case 2:

return "CONNOISSEUR";

case 3:

return "DEHYDRATE";

case 4:

return "FUZZY";

case 5:

return "HUBBUB";

case 6:

return "KEYHOLE";

case 7:

return "QUAGMIRE";

case 8:

return "SLITHER";

case 9:

return "ZIRCON";

default:

throw new Exception("getWord: Illegal index");

}

};

}

Important to note:

? use the HangmanLexicon class provided
? This assignment only requires the command line section of the application. You will not need to program the hung man or read from a file.
? You will be using arrays of characters, not String objects.
? The program will only support a single run of the game (opposed to multiple games).
