i was just wondering how i could draw the hangman when the user enters a letter that is not in the word. Should i use a counter and an if structure and if the counter equals one then draw a part of the man? or is there a more effective way?

You may want to try something like so:
code:
for i : 1 .. bodyPartsLeft
        drawBodyPart(i)
end for

I'd suggest using a for statement with the number of body parts your going to have. That would make things very easy.
