    Unhappy Help doing Hangman...

    I need help doing a very very simple hangman program...
    Im very new to C, and im trying to do a hangman program, using stdlib, stdio and conio... and maybe string, but if you can without string it would be better... its supposed that i only have to use for and if, but if i cant it wouldnt matter... i just need a simple hangman program that have the following:
    1 - abc
    2 - random name
    3 - the _ _ _ _ of the word
    4 - that wen you introduce the letter, the letter on the abc will change(like the color)
    5 - and, of course, the little man, the hangman boy...

    this is what i have so far....
    --------------------------------------------------------
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    #include<string.h>
    #include<ctype.h>

    char words[3][10]={"HEY","WHAT THE...","WWW.YAHOO.COM"};
    char word[10], res[10];
    char letter,opc,catego;

    int i,j,y,elect,long,opor,a;


    void main(void){

    do{

    i=j=y=elec=long=opor=a=0;
    clrscr();
    for(i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
    res[i]=NULL;
    }

    gotoxy(32,1);
    printf("Hangman Game");

    /*abc*/
    for(i=0;i<26;i++)
    {
    gotoxy(i*2+18,4);
    printf("%c",65+i);
    }

    randomize();
    j = random(9);
    long=strlen(word);

    for (i=1;i<=long;i++){
    gotoxy(15+i*4+14,20); printf("_");
    }



    do{
    gotoxy(25,9);
    printf("Write Word:");
    do{
    letter=toupper(getch());
    }while(!isalpha(letter));

    gotoxy(10+opor*3,22);
    printf("%c",letter);

    for(i=0;i<long;i++)
    {
    if(letter==word[i])
    {
    gotoxy(15+i*4+18,19);
    printf("%c",letter);
    res[i]=letter;
    }
    }
    y=strcmp(word,res);

    if(y==0){
    gotoxy(32,33);
    printf("YEAH!");
    opor++;}
    }while(opor<30 && y!=0);

    if (opor==20)
    {
    gotoxy(26,30);
    textcolor(3);
    cprintf("WRONG: %s",word);
    }
    gotoxy(28,25);
    printf("Play Again?");
    do{
    opc=toupper(getch());
    }while(opc!='Y' && opc!='N');
    }while(opc!='N');
    }
    ---------------------------

    What specifically do you need help with? Is there something that doesn't work, or a section you haven't finished? The first suggestion is to always use int (main), it's just better that way, and void main() isn't really accepted by programmers.

    Code:
    And please, use code tags.
    Current projects:
    1) User Interface Development Kit (C++)
    2) HTML SDK (C++)
    3) Classes (C++)
    4) INI Editor (Delphi)

    char words[3][10]={"HEY","WHAT THE...","WWW.YAHOO.COM"};
    char word[10], res[10];
    char letter,opc,catego;

    int i,j,y,elect,long,opor,a;
    Yuck. All globals? This is very poor design.

    void main(void){
    Now this is just plain wrong. The 'main' function ALWAYS returns an integer in C. If you want a main function that returns void, use Java.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Start by thinking about how your program will work, and what flow it will take. Then write this down in pseudo code, and once you think you've got it, start converting the pseudo to real code.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    can someone send me the hangman program, a very very simple hangman program... please?
    it should read the chars using a bidimencional array (char[10][30])... it should show the abc, and change the color of the abc when you press the letter... and it should have the hangman boy, please i need it for a grade, if someone can help me out... i can only use stdio.h, conio.h, stdlib.h and string.h... but it would be better if you can do it without string.h... thanks!

    you can still ask pointed questions... like if you're having problems with a loop, or don't know how to make something happen... just don't expect us to write the whole thing for you.
