I am the very begginer (only if/else, for, while, slice etc) and i ve got a problem: so i wrote Hangman game. I need to put in there code saying ‘’let’s player upper case guess letter transform to lowercase one every time he puts uppercase letter”
var words = ["fish", "monkey", "pioni", "agreable"];
var randomWord = words[Math.floor(Math.random() * words.length)];
var answerArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < randomWord.length; i++) {
answerArray[i] = "_";
}
var ramainingLetters = randomWord.length;
//Game circle
while (ramainingLetters > 0) {
alert(answerArray.join(" "));
var guess = prompt("Guess a letter or press cancel to exit game");
if (guess === null) {
break;
} else if (guess.length !== 1) {
alert("Enter only one letter");
} else if (guess == guess.toUpperCase()) {
guess = guess.toLowerCase();
} else {
//renew game cycle
for (var j = 0; j < randomWord.length; j++) {
if (randomWord[j] === guess) {
answerArray[j] = guess;
ramainingLetters--;
}
}
}
// stop game
}
alert(answerArray.join(" "));
alert(" Cool! this word was " + randomWord);You could easily solve your problem by converting the chosen word to uppercase and everytime the user puts in a letter, make that uppercase too.
var randomWord = words[Math.floor(Math.random() * words.length)].toUpperCase();
And convert your quess always to uppercase
guess = guess.toUpperCase();
This way everything is consistent.
If they type in a letter in lowercase its getting converted to uppercase and compared with the word also in uppercase.
