In Java for comparing strings you may not use == because then the program Will compare the references and not the actual value of the string. Instead use the .equals() method, for example pPlay.equals("r")

well I thought of using char... but last time I used it it didn't work- must have made a mistake-, which brought me to think it wouldn't work until you said so

If you need only one character, then don't use a String, just use a char data type. And compare them using single quotes (' '). May be it'll solve the prblm. May be not. Just try!
