Hi all, I've been working on a Java guessing game, similar to hangman which rewards you with a picture using the Gogga class (developed by the people who wrote my IT textbook for Grade 10, also I removed gogga for this website, since I doubt you'd be able to find it).
Just a word of warning... it could be simplified to a lot less lines of code, but since I may not use for complex things such as arrays, do while, etc. The problem I'm having is at the word guessing part of the program, it asks for the next character and displays the words and picture within the if statements, regardless of whether the input character was incorrect of not (so it carries out the code regardless if the conditions of the "if" is met). I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. Also I seem to not be able to have "else" after the big bunch of if statements. Just for reference, the program is not yet 100% complete since I first wanted to sort out this bug.
