Small error in your code:
public void play() {
while (mGame.getRemainingTries>0) {
displayProgress();
promptForGuess();
}
}
Should be:
public void play() {
while (mGame.getRemainingTries()>0) {
displayProgress();
promptForGuess();
}
}
You forgot the () to call the getRemainingTries() method.
I hope this helps.
