I need advice please on this Ada95 hangman game

["Mark Pagdin" <mark_pagdin@lineone.net>]

Hi

I hope you had a nice Christmas! I am looking for your help and advice. I am
a student at university in England and have just started learning to use Ada
95. This is my first programming language and obviously I am finding it hard
to learn it. However I have been set a project to create a program to play
hangman (a word game).

I have been working hard to create this and am slowly getting there. However
I am stuck on the main procedure which searches for the letter in the hidden
word and then display any correct letters.

Here is the output I get when i run the program (the word is revealed at the
moment for testing purposes):

Enter a word to test the Hangman game
mark2
Enter a Leter
m
m_ _ _ _ Enter a Leter
a
_ a_ _ _ Enter a Leter
r
_ _ r_ _ Enter a Leter
k
_ _ _ k_ Enter a Leter
2
_ _ _ _ 2Enter a Leter

Please would it be possible for anyone to point out a way of storing each
attempt so that when the player attempts to guess again the program is able
to store the result from the previous guess.


Please I don't want to cheat i.e. I only want you to give me hints not do it
for me.

Thank you,

Mark Pagdin
