Help creating a array

Question

Hi i've got a simple guessing game. Which the user has to guess the right number. A hint will be displayed if the users guess is cold, warm or hot. Each game has 8 rounds in which they have to guess 8 numbers, but each number they have 3 attempts to guess if they guess correct it will say you won and add one to games won and if they lose on there 3rd attempt it will show a message saying sorry and show the number. At the end of the 8 rounds it will give them a result depending on how many games were won.
I have managed to do all this so far, but the problem that i have is i need to make this game so it can be played by multiplayers. A message will ask how many players, max 6. The computer has to have one random number for each round. Each player plays 8 rounds, taking turns in guessing the number. Once 8 rounds are up the program should print a message saying which player won most games.
I'm not really sure how to go about doing this? I'm guessing i need an array to store each players wins and then an if statement or switch statement saying if player 1 > player 2 and for all of them then player one wins? But even this the array still confuses me not really sure how to go about it?
Any help is much appreciated, heres my code so far.

Answer 1

Since Java is an object oriented language you might want to create a Player class. Then think about how you can break things down and decide where certain methods go, in the Player class or the game class.
As for determing the Player with the greatest wins, create another temp variable to hold the player with the most correct so far. Then you loop over all players and compare their wins with the temp variable. If it is greater swap them. a shortcut would be allocate player #1 to the temp variable then you only have to compare from player #2 onwards.
