copied!<p>Your <code>while</code> loop ends before you ask if they want to play again.</p> <p>Change the loop to:</p> <pre><code>while(response == ('y')) { out.print("Rock-Paper-Scissors - pick your weapon [R,P,S] :: "); player = keyboard.next(); game.setPlayers(player); //game.determineWinner(); out.println(game); out.println(); out.println("would you like to play again? (y/n):: "); String resp = keyboard.next(); response = resp.charAt(0); } </code></pre> <p>There is another problem: <code>response</code> is not set to 'y' before the loop is started. It will not do anything in the loop at all. Use a <code>do { ... } while (response == 'y')</code> loop instead.</p> <pre><code> do { out.print("Rock-Paper-Scissors - pick your weapon [R,P,S] :: "); player = keyboard.next(); game.setPlayers(player); //game.determineWinner(); out.println(game); out.println(); out.println("would you like to play again? (y/n):: "); String resp = keyboard.next(); response = resp.charAt(0); } while (response == 'y'); </code></pre> <p>A do-while will execute the code <em>once</em>, <strong>then</strong> check the condition and keep executing if it is <code>true</code>. A while loop will just check the condition, and keep executing while it's <code>true</code>.</p> <p>EDIT: I put together some code for you:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; public class Troubleshoot { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); char response = ' '; do { System.out.println("Stuff"); System.out.print("Again? (y/n): "); response = s.next().charAt(0); } while (response == 'y'); } } </code></pre> <p>Output:</p> <pre><code>Stuff Again? (y/n): y Stuff Again? (y/n): y Stuff Again? (y/n): n </code></pre>
