Java

(1) Create variables to store a selection, username (one word), high score 1, 2 and 3, username for high score 1, 2, and 3, word (one word), user guess (single character), score, and number of incorrect guesses.

(2) Set the initial high scores to 0 and the initial usernames to the empty string.

(3) Display a menu as follows:

========================

MENU

------------------------

(S)tart new game

(D)isplay high scores

(Q)uit

========================

(4) Prompt and read a command from the user and perform the action.

Enter a command: s

(5) Start game will first set the score to 0, then ask the user for the word and the username and display the underscore character for each letter in the word (Hint: it might be easier to store this as a variable). It will then ask the user to enter a guess until they have guessed the entire word or until they have made 7 incorrect guesses. For each incorrect guess a part of the person should be displayed, and a point should be deducted from the score. For each correct guess, the letter should replace the underscore character at each location and a point should be added to the score.

Enter a command: s

Enter a word: fish

Enter a username: Riddler

Sorry you lost.

(6) At the end of the game, if the user won 10 points should be added to their score. Regardless of if the user won or lost if the score is below 0 it should be set to zero. It should also update the high score list. The game should display their score at the end of the game and tell the user if they made the high score list.

Sorry you lost. Total score: 0

or

Congratulations! You won. Total score: 12

Congratulations you have the highest score.

or
