WordGuesser program getRules() method not working
Hello. Here is my TwoPlayerGame class
package com.org.wordguessing;
publicabstractclass TwoPlayerGame{
publicstaticfinalint PLAYER_ONE = 1;
publicstaticfinalint PLAYER_TWO = 2;
protectedboolean onePlaysNext =true;
publicvoid setPlayer(int starter){
if (starter == PLAYER_TWO)
onePlaysNext =false;
else onePlaysNext =true;
}
publicint getPlayer(){
if (onePlaysNext)
return PLAYER_ONE;
elsereturn PLAYER_TWO;
}
publicvoid changePlayer(){
onePlaysNext = !onePlaysNext;
}
public String getRules(){
return"The rules of this game are: ";
}
publicabstractboolean gameOver();
publicabstract String getWinner();
}
