help! hangman game

[chocoyummi]

Hello
i am a very new programmer and i dont really know much about turing.
and i have to make a game thats kind of like hangman.
i am doing okay, but i am having a lttle issue.
realise when you play hangman, the program outputs heads, arms and legs as chances?
i don't know how to do that.
can someone please help me??
thanks!!
just so you know, i wanted to put the picture "imagesCAP41ML3.bmp" instead of the hangman person.


this is my program and thats all i have done

i don't know how to do that.

You could either load different pre-made image files on top of each other with Pic.Draw or do your own pixel graphics as needed with things like Draw.Line and Draw.Oval

[chocoyummi]

but i don't know how to put the images side by side.
i want an image to appear right beside each other once the player puts a wrong guess.

Well, how have you tried to display the images so far?
