most effective way of making hangman?

-----------------------------------

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?

Call the hangman apporeriate for display.

	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.
