SERTek: Correcting a Hangman program in Visual Logic

[James]

Trying to fix some errors I'm getting in a Hangman program I'm working on. For some reason, it won't allow me to make arrays in the main logic, and when I try displaying an array full of "-", it displays zeroes instead. Can anyone help? I'll post pseudocode if needed.

[James]

Okay, I corrected the array and zeroes problems, but now I have another problem: it won't replace each "-" with a correct letter once I guess it.

Here's the pseudocode:

Begin
Make Array(hangmanAnswerx, 10)
Make Array(hangmanGuessx, 10)
Call Initializing
Call Processing
Call Finalizing
End

Initializing
Output (Console): “Welcome to Hangman!”
Output (Console): “Rules:”
Output (Console): “Guess a letter. If it’s in the word, it will be revealed on the board.”
Output (Console): “If not, a part is drawn.”
Output (Console): “Miss 7 guesses, and it’s a Hangman!”
Output (Console): "|---|"
Output (Console): "|   |"
Output (Console): "|"
Output (Console): "|"
Output (Console): "|"
Output (Console): "|"
Output (Console): "|"

... Could someone please help me with this? It's due tomorrow.

I don't know if any of us know this "Visual Logic" language here.  I've certainly never seen it before.  But I recommend you look up something about assigning character constants and formatted printing as a hint to what your problem may be.

Nevermind. Fixed and submitted. Go ahead and move this to the archive.
