Re: Hangman: case-sensitive problem?

[Dylan Reinhold <dylan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The code makes all your answers lower case.

This patch will also compare the uppercase version of your letter.

While playing hangman, the word offered was 'Theocritan', but when I guessed 't', it only filled in the second 't'.  I haven't looked at the code, but I'm guessing that it's not recognizing the uppercase T.
