I'd like to display a number of blank letter spaces = to the number of letters of a random word I pull from an array.
This is for a hangman game for a class project. I have the randomly pulled word and the number of letters in that word but trying to use the variable that I've assigned that number too is proving a bit tricky.
Any help appreciated!
You can try the following code:
// The array of words you have
var $words = [
'Totidem',
'Pugnabant',
'Calidis',
'Circumfluus',
'Formaeque'
];
// Pick a random array index
var $idx = Math.floor( Math.random() * $words.length );
// Get the word in the index equal to $idx
var $word = $words[$idx];
// Generate the repeated string. In case you like to display a different
// character, replace the `.join(" ")` with the character you need. For
// example `.join("_")` or `.join("_=_")`
var $repeated_string = Array( 1 + $word.length).join(" ")
