I am getting an error on jshell when I run: Game game = new Game("treehouse"); The code is exactly the same.

Hey Eduardo!

The reason why your Game.java class is not being compiled in because you are not using it in your Hangman.java file. If you go back to the Getting Started, when Craig compiles Hangman.java he says, "It will at least compile Game.java and not Prompter.java since we haven't created an instance of it, yet."

I will say this again, the reason why your Game.java ins't being compiled is because you are not instantiating(or creating a variable with the object type "Game") the Game.java class in the Hangman.java.

At the moment, your Hangman.java looks like this:

public class Hangman {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Your incredible code goes here...

  }
}

It should look like this:

public class Hangman {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Your incredible code goes here...
       Game game = new Game("treehouse");
  }
}

Once you instantiate the Game.java class, the compiler should compile the Game class.

Hope I was of some help! And don't get frightened if you don't understand how and why things are happening the way they are, right now. By the time you are done with this track, you will find this course very easy. Just "Hang" in there ;)
