Hangman

I'm a beginner in programming, just started to work in some projects and one of them is a "CANT WIN HANGMAN GAME" and need help finishing it. This is what I have at this time:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "gallows.h"

int main()
{
	int a;
	GallowsPole g;
	a=g.counter();

	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}


Up to now the program asks the user for 6 guesses, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to keep count of the tries in order to display my void draw methods!

Please any help will be aprreciated

why not put the draw method which corresponds to the guess number within the guess block?

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
else if (guess==6)
		{
			cout<<"YOU LOST"<<endl;
                        draw6();  //draw the last one.
			//guess=count;
			break;
			system("PAUSE"); //the is pointless... the system breaks before it ever reaches there.
		}

Well thank you pogrady! Works fine now!

Better to create public GallowsPole::draw() method which will call draw0()–draw6() methods based on private variable and make draw0()–draw6() methods private.
