Hangman Game - How To Scan The String For Input Supplied By User

Dec 9, 2014

My assignment is to create a hangman game. One of my first difficulties with it is how to scan the string for an input supplied by the user.

Here is my method:

//Guesses that character c is in the secret word.
//Updates all instance variables accordingly,
//and returns true if c is present in the secret word.
public boolean guessCharacter(char c){
}

Hangman 2 Player Game - User Cannot Guess More Than 6 Times

May 27, 2014

I am creating a hangman code. So the game i am creating is 2 player, first player enters the word and second player guesses. i made the code but i don't know how to restrict the first player from adding random characters into the secret word because for my project the word can only contain letters. so i need making the code so the player 1 can only enter letters.

My code is below:

/**
* Auto Generated Java Class.
*/
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Hangman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
String player1,player2;
int wrongguessamount = 0; //keeps the count of the amount of wrong guesses
int correctguessamount = 0; //keeps count of the amount of correct guesses
int maxincorrect=6;//makes sure the user cant guess more than 6 times

Create Hangman Game With GUI?

Apr 18, 2015

I am trying to create a Hangman game with a gui. i already have buttons for the letters, each with its own action listener. I'm having difficulties creating the gallows and man.

I have a class called guiTest, which contains all of the letters. This is essentially what i have. Can I add the image to this class, or do I need to create a new class that extends JFrame?

Java Code: import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;

Create A Very Basic Hangman Type Of Game

Oct 12, 2014

You have to create a very basic hangman type of game. Open Notepad and create a list of at least ten words in a text file. Save the file as a .txt file and use it to read words for the game. In this game you do not have to show pictures but you do need to keep track of the amount of times that the user has guessed wrong. When the game starts, show the amount of characters in the word represented as dashes and ask the user to type in a letter. if the user guesses correctly show the word again with the correct letter filled in the correct positions(s) and if the user correctly guessed the word, show a message. If the user guesses wrong, keep track of the body parts that needs to be reduced with every wrong guess and inform the user as well, also show a message.

I'm struggling with reading the file, showing the amount of parts left and asking the user to play again. Here is the code:

package hangman;

/**
*
* @author
*/
import java.nio.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class HangMan {

Replacing Underscores In Array Implementation Of Hangman Game

Jun 5, 2014

For an array implementation of a Hangman game I have created an array to hold the game board progress. It is initialized as "_ _ _ " where the underscores represent the number of letter in the word to be guessed. I have written the following method to replace underscores with a correct guess. It is functioning correctly in that it is replacing the underscore with a correct character guess, but it is only replacing the first time this letter appears in the word. I.e. for "greed" guessing "e" would only replace the first e: _ _ e _ _how I may be able to fix this issue.

// Updates gameboard from "_" to current guess if guess is correct
if (isCorrectGuess(move)==true){
if(inWinningState()==false){
guessProgress[charLocation] = guess;}
return true;}

Hangman Game Using Class - It Keeps On Bringing Up Exception Error

Apr 23, 2015

I wrote a program that would play a game of Hangman. It plays the game but it keeps on bringing up a exception error. This is my class code

import java.util.ArrayList;
class Assignment2Q4
{
private final ArrayList<Character> guessList = new ArrayList<>();
private final char[] charArray;
private final String secretWord;
private int guesses;

[Code] ....

This is the output that is given:

Enter the secret word:
pizza
Guess a letter:
d
?????
Guess a letter:

[Code] .....

Also when I guess the first letter of the word correctly it stops the program without going further on with the guessing.

Like for ex. P????

Guess Number Game - Reveals Answer If User Input Is Wrong

Sep 1, 2014

The problem occurs after the user inputs the guess.... it either runs the for loop if guess = numtoguess and reveals the answer even if the user input is wrong.... or it always runs the first if statement in the while loop if guess!= to numtoguess... heres the code

public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] Answers = {"yes", "Yes", "No", "no"};
String Name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Hello, What is your name?","Random Game", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
String UI = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, Name + " do you want to play a game", "Random Game", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

Multi-word Hangman Game - Spaces Not Displayed When Program Run

Apr 9, 2015

I created a simple Hangman game. It functions correctly, the only issue is when the file contains a phrase (2 or more words), spaces are not displayed when the program is run. For example, if the phrase was Java Programming Forums.

It would appear as _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

I want there to be spaces in between the words. How could I fix this? What would I need to add to my code?

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
 public class hangman{
public static void main (String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException{
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
String guess;
String guesses = "";
int wrongGuess = 8;

Hangman Type Game - How Many Times Each Guessed Letter Occurs Within The Word

Jul 31, 2014

The game runs fine, however I have to include how many times each letter that is guessed occurs within the word. For example, if the guess is e, the program should print out: The character e occurs in 3 positions. How would I go about doing this??

/*
* A program that plays simple word guessing game. In this game the user provides a list of words to the program.
* The program randomly selects one of the words to be guessed from this list.
* The player then guesses letters in an attempt to figure out what the hidden word might be.
* The number of guesses that the user takes are tracked and reported at the end of the game.

Evaluating User Input For String Or Int

Jan 14, 2015

I have to take a users input. The general gist of the problem is I want to convert a decimal number entered by the user inputs into it's binary equivalent....the conversion part I know how to do.

I'm stuck at the user input phase. If the user inputs a decimal number within the correct range (lets say between 0-5000 for this example) the conversion goes ahead as planned and the program outputs on the screen the binary equivalent.

If on the other hand the user inputs a number outside of this range ... OR a String OR and empty space, an error message is given and the user is asked to try again. I don't know how to handle it if the user enters the different types...int or String.

Scanning Known String And Not Input Typed By User?

Jul 29, 2014

I'm having an issue with my program that needs 2 lines of input when I only want one. First I call Scan.nextLine(); to fetch a word. Then I want Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number); to scan the string word for a letter instead of having to put another line in the console. How do I make Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number); scan a single String instead of scanning input typed by the user?

Getting User Input From TextArea And Storing It As String Value

Jan 20, 2015

I am having trouble with getting a user input once they enter it in to a JTextArea and then storing it in to a string value. See, I wanted the user to enter an answer in to the JTextArea, and then once I store it in to a string value, I would be able to use it later. I wanted to after storing the variable to print it on to a JLabel, but nothing is showing up... Heres my code.

static String usera[]= new String [10];
for (int i=0; i< usera.length; i++) {
//These are the JTextArea names
usera[0]= Question1.getText();
usera[1]= Question2.getText();

[Code].....

I already initialized the JLabels earlier in my code, and I did not feel the need to post all my code here. This is where I am trying to get the string variable and then printing it out.

Continuously Get User Input Until Empty String Entered

Jul 26, 2014

I have the code below that just keeps getting the user's name and displaying it until the user enter's an empty string. Well, to simulate that, I just hit the keyboard instead of entering any name but for some reasons I am not seeing in my code, the programme just keeps looping.
 
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
Scanner st = new Scanner(System.in);
while(st.hasNext()){
System.out.println("Enter your name :
");
String name = st.nextLine();
System.out.println(name);
if(name==" ") break;
}
System.out.println("you are out of the while loop now!!");

So this application gets input from the user and converts it into a string. It then uses various methods to set instance variables of this class and ends up printing those classes to display information to the user about that products.

package javaapplication5;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Scanner;
 public class Product
{
private String product;
private String description;

How To Compare Int To A Empty String To Input Error Message To User

Apr 16, 2015

I made a guess a number program but I am having issue figuring out a way that when a user enter's in nothing for the program to spit out a message saying "hey entering nothing doesn't work try again" then ask for input. I have done some research and from what I have found is to read the input in as a String rather than int, and use something like Integer.valueOf() to get the integer value but I am completely lost on how to apply that to my program here is my code

//import statements
import java.util.*; //for scanner class
// class beginning
public class Guess {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
//Declare variables area
int guess, secretNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 10 + 1), lowGuess,highGuess;

Reading Input With Scanner And Checking If User Entered Empty String?

Apr 7, 2015

The project is a program that allows the user to enter students and enter grades for each student. One of the requirements is that if there is already a grade stored for the student that it will display the previous grade. IF the user then enters a new grade the new grade will be stored. IF the user simply presses enter (enters an empty string) nothing is done. I have everything working except for the requirement of doing nothing if the user enters an empty string. If I just press enter at this point I get a NumberFormatException.

The below code is a method "setTestGrades" from the student class. This method iterates through each student object stored in an array list and then checks if there is a previous grade (Requirement# unset grades have to default to -1) before allowing the user to set a new grade.

public void setTestGrades(int testNumber) { //Sets the grade for the specified test number for each student in the arraylist.
testNumber -= 1;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < studentList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("Please enter the grade for Test #" + (testNumber + 1) + " For Student " + studentList.get(i).getStudentName());

Retrieving Result By User Input Different Combination Using String Tokenizer (MYSQL)

Mar 30, 2014

I am creating a simple Symptom Checker application. The problem I have is that I'm trying to retrieve user input (JTextField) by comma's using StringTokenizer which contacts the database for a result which matches the user's input (SELECT * FROM DIAGNOSIS WHERE ?, ?, ?) . It successfully finds the correct result however only in a particular format. Not different combinations....

for example, if I enter say within the JTextField: "tearful, nausea, lack of motivation" it will find the result successfully (as that is how it is formatted within the particular column (in the database table) i wish to display a result from) however, if i enter a different combination of these symptoms: "nausea, lack of motivation, tearful" - it will not find any result. I'm very unsure how to make it work regardless of what is inputted first, second or last.

Here is the code:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
String abc = fieldsymp1.getText();
StringTokenizer str = new StringTokenizer(abc);
while (str.hasMoreTokens()) {
str.nextToken((", ")).trim();

Retrieving User Input String From Keyboard - Program Errors (try / Catch)

Sep 23, 2014

I need to design, implement, and test a program to input and analyze a name. The program begins by retrieving a user input string from the keyboard. This string is intended to be the user's name. These are the errors we have to search analyze the user input for: No blanks between names firstName and lastName, Non-alphabetic characters in names, Less than two characters in first name, and Less than two characters in last name. Each of these errors must be thrown. All exceptions must be derived from a programmer-defined class called NameException. Each exception should use a detailed message to differentiate among the file types of errors.

This is the format of my NameException class, is the format itself correct? I will fill in the details of each exception I am just wondering if that is how I should set it up.

public class NameException extends Exception {
private String firstName, lastName;
public NoBlanksException(String firstName,String lastName) {
}
public NonAlphabeticalCharactersException(String firstName, String lastName) {

[Code] .....

I was told not to try and catch thrown errors in the main method, would I just create another method in the Driver class to take care of that then?

User Input Data As String And If Verified As Valid Number Then Convert Into Double

I am writing a code in which a user inputs data as a string and that data must be verified as a valid number. A valid number is anything from 0-100. Then all valid numbers are converted into double numbers.

I am having trouble in how to write the validation part of the code.

Is it suppose to be an if, else statement? And if so how is it suppose to be validated?
