Convert 20_Buzzword to Java
The original version was a straight forward monolithic BASIC-to-Java conversion. Updated to use common Java coding conventions. - Split the single static main method into classes. The static part only contains the bootstrap code for the game. - Split the word list into three arrays so that there is no need to use error-prone calculations when choosing the random words. - Placed the Scanner in a try-with-resources block to ensure that the scanner gets closed when it is no longer needed.

// This is very close to the original BASIC. Changes:
|

// 1) the array indexing is adjusted by 1
|

// 2) the user can enter a lower case "y"
|

// 3) moved the word list to the top 8~)
