Java HangMan Game

Question

I'm doing this hangman project, and I'm almost done, but I can't get the output to show all of the correct letters in place of the underscore, instead it only shows the correct letter that was just entered. Please help.

Answer 1

You should make a variable called lettersGuessed that is either initially an empty string, "", or an ArrayList<Character>. Then after each guess, or this line char guess = Expo.enterChar(); add the char guess to your ArrayList or String (I suggest a string if you are unfamiliar with an arraylist) so lettersGuessed += guess; and then System.out.println("Letters guessed: " + lettersGuessed).
