Please Help

I need to make a hangman game but I have code but it won't end the game even if you ges the word, and it won't show the gesses all at once.
This is what I have

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char solution[20];	
	char blank[20];		
	int counter = 0;	
	int right = 0;		
	char guess;

	cout<<"Enter phrase 20 chars or less."<<endl;
	cin.getline(solution, 20);
	int puzzLength = strlen(solution);			



		
	for (counter = 0; counter < puzzLength; counter++)
               {
		solution[counter] = toupper(solution[counter]);
	}
	
		
	

	
	for (counter = 0; counter < puzzLength; counter++) {		
		if (isalnum(solution[counter])) blank[counter] = '*';
		else blank[counter] = solution[counter];
		
}	

	while (strcmp(solution, blank))  
	{
		cout<<endl<<"Solution phrase is: "<<solution<<"."<<endl;
		cout<<"The current 'blank' puzzle is: "<<blank<<"."<<endl;
		cout<<"Enter a guess."<<endl;
		cin>>guess;
		guess = toupper(guess);


		
		for (counter = 0; counter <= puzzLength; counter++) 
		{
				if (guess == solution[counter])  
				{
					blank[counter] = guess;				
				}
	
		}			
	}	
	cout<<"Winner!";//Ican't get to this
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

Ok. Where's the camera? Or am I just going insane?
This is yet again the exact same code as

Are you three in the same class or something? Or are you all the same person?

But to solve your problem, put this: strcpy_s(blank, solution); right after

for (counter = 0; counter < puzzLength; counter++)
{
solution[counter] = toupper(solution[counter]);
}

That way you all have the exact same code and your teacher will fail you for sure

As an aside, you use the C string and character functions, but forgot to include <cstring> and <cctype>.

> cout<<"Winner!";//Ican't get to this
When Edward runs the program, the problem shows up in the output for blank. You didn't null terminate the string, so strcmp is failing. That's easy to fix by changing this:

char blank[20];

To this:

char blank[20] = {0};

What that does is initializes every character in blank to null. That way as long as the phrase is less than 20 characters the string is always null terminated.

Thanks, but last time, how do I get it to show all the letters used.

thanks for stealing my code

I changed it to

No. You didn't change anything. You just stole the code somewhere else
Suprised I found it? Some of us actually know the powers of google

Trying to cheat your way through class is bad enough, but asking for help because even cheating is to difficult is just sad...:-/

[Nick Evan]

thanks for stealing my code

Don't make me laugh. I found 'your' code as well. So above message is also for you :(

[chrisfrolich]

That's funny. Every time I read this thread I get frustated... :@

Things like this irritate me quite a lot:

wow someone really has NO LIFE

And to think, I actually tried to help this guy, before I found out he was stealing all his code...
What a waste of minutes.... :)

[joshmo]

well the fact that someone can copy a code from somewhere, call it his, then someone else gets the same code from the original cheat...and so on..it is frustrating and really disapointing but the fact that someone can even get upset over something they know isnt theirs..then that is funny..:)
