Java Programming | IT105 STI College

Q&A Laboratory 6A

Objective:

At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:

 Create a simple game that exhibits file input and output.

Software Requirements:

 Latest version of NetBeans IDE

 Java Development Kit (JDK) 8

Procedure:

1. Create a folder named LastName_FirstName (ex. Reyes_Mark) in your local drive.

2. Create a new project named LabExer6A. Set the project location to your own folder.
3. Create a simple guessing game (similar to Hangman or Hangaroo). In this game, the user guesses a letter and then
attempts to guess the word.
4. Create a Notepad file named words.txt which will store any number of words each written per line.
5. The Java program shall:
 randomly select a word from the list saved in words.txt;
 display a letter in which some of the letters are replaced by?; for example, ED??A??ON (for EDUCATION);
 place the letter in the correct spot (or spots) in the word each time the user guesses a letter correctly;
 inform the user if the guessed letter is not in the word; and
 display a congratulatory message when the entire correct word has been deduced.
