Hangman: case-sensitive problem?
Added by Anonymous about 14 years ago.
Updated about 14 years ago.
Description
While playing hangman, the word offered was 'Theocritan', but when I guessed
't', it only filled in the second 't'. I haven't looked at the code, but
I'm guessing that it's not recognizing the uppercase T.

The code makes all your answers lower case.
This patch will also compare the uppercase version of your letter.
diff --git a/games/hangman/getguess.c b/games/hangman/getguess.c

Guessed[ch - 'a'] = TRUE;
correct = FALSE;
for (i = 0; Word[i] != '\0'; i+) {
- if (Word[i] == ch) {
- Known[i] = ch;
+ if (Word[i] ch || Word[i] toupper(ch) ) {
+ Known[i] = Word[i];
correct = TRUE;
}
}

I've fixed it. However I took OpenBSD's code (oops, should have noted
that in the commit message) which calls toupper() only once.
