Java - Hangman

[dylandylandylan]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has written a basic program in Java that plays a hangman game.

It also requires user name and password that is written to a .txt file.

Unfortunately for me, I struggle with OOP, especially Java, and this is one of the tasks that was assigned to me.

Any help would be great - I have to write it in DrJava, so unfortunately none of the templates work as designed.

 

My main class : 

// Things we need for the hangman game// 1. A way to get guesses from the user - we've done user input// 2. A list of words from which to select the word to be guessed - we've done arrays// 3. A way to know which letters of the word have been guessed - explained here// 4. A way to randomly select a word from the list - explained here// 5. Various loops to support the game play - we've done loopsimport java.util.Random;public class Hangman{    Random r;    GetData get;    String[] words = {"marsh", "swamp","mountain","peninsula","beach"};    String word; // to hold the chosen word    boolean finished = false;    int badGuessCount=0;  // int variable for tracking number of guesses    boolean [] foundLetters;  // boolean array to mark which letters have been found    String entryWord =" ";  // String variable for user's guesses        public Hangman()    {      r = new Random();      get = new GetData();      playAGame();    }        public void playAGame()    {         // choose a word from the list of words        word = words[r.nextInt(words.length)];        // create a boolean array the size of the word        foundLetters = new boolean[word.length()];                while (!finished)        {            showGallows(); // print the gallows and person            showWord();            getGuess();            checkGuess();             if (badGuessCount==6)             {                 System.out.print('\u000C');                 showGallows();                 System.out.println("Sorry, but you lost.");                 System.out.println("The word was: "+word);                 finished=true;             }        }    }    public void showGallows()    {        System.out.print('\u000C');        if (badGuessCount==0)           man_0();                   // you need to add more if statements here!                System.out.println("\n");    }     public boolean showWord()    {         boolean goodGuess = false;         char ch = entryWord.charAt(0);         for (int lc=0; lc < word.length(); lc++)             if (foundLetters[lc]==true)             {               System.out.print(word.charAt(lc)+" ");             }             else if (word.charAt(lc)==ch)                  {                      System.out.print(word.charAt(lc)+" ");                      foundLetters[lc] = true;                      goodGuess = true;                   }                   else                       System.out.print("_ ");         return goodGuess;    }              public void getGuess()    {         // you need to add code here to get a user's guess    }          public void checkGuess()    {        // you need to add code here that will check the user's guess        // NOTE: you can use the code below when you want to show the user something        // before continuing with the game        //System.out.println("Press the Return key to continue!");        //String pause = get.aWord();                          }          public void completedMan()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|  /|\\"); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|  / \\"); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_0()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   ");       System.out.println("|   "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|   "); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_1()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|    "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|    "); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_2()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|   | "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|    "); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_3()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|  /| "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|    "); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_4()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|  /|\\ "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|    "); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }        public void man_5()    {       System.out.println("_____");       System.out.println("|   |");       System.out.println("|   o");       System.out.println("|  /|\\ "); //why the double \\, because the \ has special meaning       System.out.println("|    \\"); //and so using 2 tell Java to just print the 2nd    }}

My getData class

import java.util.Scanner;public class GetData{    private Scanner input;        public GetData()    {        input = new Scanner(System.in);    }    public String aWord()    {        return input.nextLine();    }        public int aNumber()    {        return input.nextInt();    }}

I don't know how to finish off some of the methods, so any help would be grand thank you!
