Assignment 13: Hangman II

Due: 2:00pm, Monday, November 9. Value: 30 pts. Submit to Sauron.

We'll now complete the Hangman program we began in Assignment 11.

I'm providing you the framework for this solution in HangmanII.java, which deals with selecting a word and handling user interaction. One of the included classes is Hangman, but you could just as easily replace it with your solution from the earlier assignment. It is also missing another class named Status.

The only code you should write for this assignment is the Status class, which handles the mechanics of processing guesses given by the user and displaying the hidden and revealed letters from the word. (The provided code already handles receiving guesses from the user and displaying those guessed letters that are wrong.) It should be a subclass of GLabel with the following constructor and methods.

Status()

(Constructor) Creates a blank word. The target word is as yet unspecified.

void setTarget(String value)

Sets the target word remembered to value and resets the displayed letters to be a string with as many dashes ('-') as letters in value.

void guess(String letter)

For each occurrence of letter in the target word, the corresponding position in the displayed letters is revealed.

int getMissingCount()

Returns the number of dashes ('-') among the revealed letters.

void showAll()

Reveals all letters from the target word.

Once you have finished Status, you should have a complete, working Hangman program.
