Explanation / Answer

So anytime you have a programming project, the key is to break the problem down into smaller problems. The philosophy of Object Oriented Programming supports this. The first thing I do is think of the objects my program will need. For instance if I were making a car program, I would create car object that would be compromised of wheel objects, a steering column object, drive-train object, etc. For your project, you might make these objects: 1.) A word object which holds a game word. This might contain methods for checking to see if a letter belongs in the word. 2.) You will need your AlphabetPanel object which will probably contain a word object (The one currently in play). The AlphabetPanel object might contain a method for adding a new word object. Usually for larger programs it is a good idea to separate logic from presentation from input, but for this case you will probably be alright putting input logic in your AlphabetPanel class. Hope I was a little bit of good direction. I know I rambled a bit. here is the code for you :) package Test; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Scanner; public class Hangman{ public static void main(String [] agrs){ ArrayList vocab = new ArrayList(); vocab.add("this"); vocab.add("program"); vocab.add("really"); vocab.add("works"); vocab.add("fine"); int number = (int) (Math.random()*5); //i used 5 since i added 5 words to vocab before. change it accordingly String option = vocab.get(number); begingame(option);} private static void begingame(String option) { boolean status = true; char[] question = option.toCharArray(); char[] nextString = new char[option.length()]; for(int y=0;y
