I am writing a program to validate the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:

I am using the Random class from java.util. The random class will generate 10 letters from a-z and within 10 letter, minimum 2 letters must be a vowels.

Scenario 2:

When the player 1 and player 2 form a word from A-Z, he will score some points. There will be a score for each letter. I have already assigned the values for A-Z. At the end of the game, the system should display a scores for player 1 and player 2. How do i do it?

Please help. I will post my code here.

Thanks a lot.

===========================================

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class FindYourWords {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  Random rand = new Random();
  Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);

  //==================Player object===============================================
  Player playerOne = new Player();
  playerOne.wordScore = 0;
  playerOne.choice = "blah";
  playerOne.turn = true;

  Player playerTwo = new Player();
  playerTwo.wordScore = 0;
  playerTwo.choice = "blah";
  playerTwo.turn = false;

  //================== Alphabet ==================================================
  String[] newChars = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m",
    "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"
  }; //values of the 26 alphabets to be used

  int [] letterScore = {1,3,3,2,1,4,2,4,1,8,5,1,3,1,1,3,10,1,1,1,1,4,4,8,4,10}; // to assign score to the player1 and player 2

  String[] vowel = { "a", "e", "i", "o", "u" };  // values for vowels
  int vow=0;

  System.out.println("FINDYOURWORDS\n");

  int[] arrayRandom = new int[10]; //int array for word limiter
  String[] randomLetter = new String[10]; //storing the letters in newChars into this array

  //===============================================================================
boolean cont = true;

  while (cont) {

   if (playerOne.turn) {
    System.out.print("Letters of Player 1: ");
   }
   else if (!playerOne.turn) {
    System.out.print("Letters of Player 2: ");
   }

   for (int i = 0; i < arrayRandom.length; i++) { //running through the array limiter
   int r = rand.nextInt(newChars.length); //assigning random nums to the array of letters
   randomLetter[i] = newChars[r];
   System.out.print(randomLetter[i]+ " ");

   }

   //input section for player

   System.out.println("");
   System.out.println("Enter your word (or '@' to pass or '!' to quit): ");
   if (playerOne.turn) {
    playerOne.choice = userInput.next();
    System.out.println(playerOne.turn);
    playerOne.turn = false;
   }
   else if (!playerOne.turn){
    playerTwo.choice = userInput.next();
    System.out.println(playerOne.turn);
    playerOne.turn = true;
   }
   //System.out.println(choice);


   String[] wordList = FileUtil.readDictFromFile("words.txt"); //Still dunno what this is for


   if (playerOne.choice.equals("@")) {
    playerOne.turn = false;
   }
   else if (playerTwo.choice.equals("@")) {
    playerOne.turn = true;
   }
   else if (playerOne.choice.equals("!")) {
    cont = false;
   }


   for (int i = 0; i < wordList.length; i++) {
   //System.out.println(wordList[i]);
    if (playerOne.choice.equalsIgnoreCase(wordList[i]) || playerTwo.choice.equalsIgnoreCase(wordList[i])){

  }

   }
