I am new to java and am trying to create a game that simulates hangman. I am trying to get the letters from the user after they input on keyboard. However, when I type something it doesn't make any difference, it doesn't output whether it is correct or incorrect. I think I may not be using the event in my guessLetter() function correctly, any help would be greatly appreciated.






window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() 
var word = ['taco'];

let randNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * word.length);
let chosenWord = word[randNum];
let underScore = [];

let docUnderScore = document.getElementsByClassName('underScore');
let docRightGuess = document.getElementsByClassName('rightGuess');
let docWrongGuess = document.getElementsByClassName('wrongGuess');

console.log(chosenWord); //lets grader cheat

let generateUnderscore = () =>
for (let i = 0; i < chosenWord.length; i++)
underScore.push('_');

return underScore;



document.onkeyup = function guessLetter(event) event.code).toLowerCase();

if (chosenWord.indexOf(letter) > -1)
rightWord.push(letter);
underScore[chosenWord.indexOf(letter)] = letter;
docUnderScore[0].innerHTML = underScore.join(' ');
docRightGuess[0].innerHTML = rightWord;
if (underScore.join('') === chosenWord)
alert('CONGRATS! YOU WIN!!!');
else
wrongWord.push(letter);
docWrongGuess[0].innerHTML = wrongWord;


underScore[0].innerHTML = generateUnderscore().join(' ');


);

  • Check out your console log. Your code is trying to use some undefined variables including rightWord and wrongWord (so either define them or use existing variables.)
