Each instance of class GameState represents a single state within the Peeveli variant of Hangman: What does the (partially visible) target word look like to the guesser? How many incorrect guesses can the guesser still make? Which guesses have already been made? Moreover, our dishonest hangman needs an additional piece of information: Which words are still credible solutions given the earlier guesses?

Chapter 10.2 of the ebook details the Peeveli game’s internal logic.
While a player plays a game of Peeveli, the game will move from one state to another. Even so, each GameState object is immutable. Each successive state is represented by a new GameState object, which is generated by calling the current state’s guessLetter method.
Parameters
- missesAllowed
-
the number of incorrect guesses that the guesser can still make before losing the game. A negative number means that the game is over.
- previousGuesses
-
a string that contains all the previously guessed characters in order
- viableSolutions
-
all the words in the game’s vocabulary that match the
visibleWordparameter and are therefore plausible correct solutions - visibleWord
-
the version of the target word that is visible to the guesser. In a state that represents the beginning of the game, this will consist of unrevealed characters only (e.g.,
"_____"); see Unrevealed. In later states, more and more characters will be visible (e.g.,"C___O").
