couple of hints:

wrap the code in [ code ] and [ /code ] tags ( without spaces ) so that indentation and stuff
is not lost when posting.

Your "tr" commands need to look like this:

tr "[stuff]" "-"

You must have double quotes around that first argument.

However, this really isn't the problem. The problem is the design.
You need to exchange hyphens for correct letters -- not the other way around.

For this, you will need a much more sophisticated logic for exchanging
correct letters for hyphens.

I recommend commenting out all the "clear" lines.

Then running the thing through bash using:

bash -xvf hangman

Hopefully your screen emulator has a scroll bar and you can watch what
commands get executed.

Good luck.

ex3d

ex3d(3alleg4)							  Allegro manual						     ex3d(3alleg4)

NAME

       ex3d - 3d 'bouncy cubes' demo. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example ex3d

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  how  to use the 3d matrix functions.  It isn't a very elegant or efficient piece of code, but it does show the
       stuff in action. It is left to the reader as an exercise to design a proper model structure and rendering pipeline: after all, the best way
       to do that sort of stuff varies hugely from one game to another.

       The  example  first  shows a screen resolution selection dialog.  Then, a number of bouncing 3d cubes are animated. Pressing a key modifies
       the rendering of the cubes, which can be wireframe, the more complex transparent perspective  correct  texture  mapped  version,  and  many
       other.
