word game java

Problem: you are to write a java program allowing the user to play a word game. There should be two different lists of words: a set of misspelled words and a set of words spelled correctly.

Here are the steps to play the game:

Your program randomly selects a word from the list (it could be a word that is misspelled or a word that is spelled correctly.

The word will be displayed to the user

User needs to decide if the word is spelled correctly or not

If the user’s answer is correct then he/she will gain one point otherwise he/she will lose a point

Ask the user if he/she wants to play again If the answer is no, display the score

If the answer is yes go to the step 1.

How to write your program:

You can use arrays of strings to store the words. How many arrays do you need?

You need to have two files for the words: Misspelled words and correct words

Fill in you arrays by reading from the files

Use a variable to keep track of the score

The randomly selected word cannot be repeated. Therefore you need to keep track of the words already shown to the user.

Use the scanner class to interact with the user.

Use the Random class to generate random numbers to pick a word from the list. How many random numbers do you need? You need two random numbers but why?

Use while loop to repeat the game as long as the user is interested.

Requirements:

Write a method for displaying the description of your program

Write a method for filling in the array from the files

Write a method called play

Write the algorithm for this program before start coding

Provide a description of your program

You must use methods in your program

Appropriate identifier naming

Comments

Proper indentation

Follow the naming conventions
