    suggestion game hangman

    Hi, I'm trying to make a simple hangman game, where you must find the word.
    I am blocked at this piece of code:
    This do the job once, I want do this:
    1-get char from stdin;
    2-replace underscore with char given if exists;
    3-add single char in a new char array;
    4-when the word doesn't contain underscore anymore, stop.
    Do you have some idea?
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    char *replaceChar ( char *string );
    int main () {
    	char s[] = "cane";
    	char *newstr;
    	//newstr = replaceChar( s );
    	
    	newstr = replaceChar( s );
    	printf ( "%d\ns=%s\nnewstr=%s\n", strlen( s ), s, newstr); 
    	
    }
    
    char *replaceChar ( char *string ) {
    	int x;
    	int lung;
    	char ch;
    	lung = strlen ( string );
    	printf ( "insert: " );
    	ch = getchar();
    		
    	for ( x = 0; x < lung; x++ ) {
    		if ( ch != string[x] ) {
    			string[x] = '_';
    		}
    	}
    	return string;
    }

    I would invest in some while loops right about now. The sort that execute until a certain condition is met, f. ex. the string does not contain any underscores.
