Hey so the main problem I'm having is that every time somebody gets the letter wrong in hangman I want to start drawing the person right, but for some reason when u see my code it doesn't read it properly and places the message in the wrong places.

​

So this code right here prints out the message

​

void Hangman::printMessage(string message, bool printT = true, bool            printB = true) {
    if(printT) {
        cout << "*---------------------------------*\n";
        cout << "|";
        }
    else {
        cout << "|";
    }
    bool front = true;
    for(char i = message.length(); i < 33; i  ){
        if(front) {
            message = " "   message;
        }
        else {
            message = message   " ";
        }
        front = !front;
    }
    cout << message.c_str();
    if(printB) {
        cout << "|\n";
        cout << "*---------------------------------*\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "|\n";
    }
}

​

and this code is supposed to start drawing the hangman

​

void Hangman::draw(int guess) {
    guess = 0;
    if(guess >= 1) {
        printMessage("/", false, false);
    }
    else {
        printMessage("", false, false);
    }
}

and this is in my main

int main() {
    Hangman h;
    h.printMessage("Hang Man", true, true);
    h.draw(1);
    getchar();
    return 0;

}

​

so for the printMessage function it does exactly what I need it to do the output is:

*---------------------------------*
|             Hang Man            |
*---------------------------------*

​

but in the draw function the output is:

*---------------------------------*
|             Hang Man            |
*---------------------------------*
|                                 |

​

while I am trying to get it as

*---------------------------------*
|             Hang Man            |
*---------------------------------*
                 /
