Java Hangman!
I am new to java. All suggestions as far as this program goes is appreciated however please do not change the entire code because I am aware that there are bugs/issues with it. The questions I have is when I run this program(eclipse) I have a Dictionary.txt and that works fine. However when I guess the word correctly the while loop of the game does not end, how do I fix this? Can I not compare a StringBuilder to a String? When I guess the word wrong(run out of attempts) the program ends the while loop but jumps back into it after the endGame() method. I assume because it picks up from where the method was called. How can I change this a little to allow the game to function as I intended? I am not familiar with the structure of a game in java. Also how do I attach programs to the forum as other members have? Tried to attach a .java and it would not let me. Apologize for the .txt format
