   Do you know the difference between a procedure and a   
   program? Only programs (or units, but let's not go   
   that far yet) can be compiled. If your task was to   
   simply write a procedure to be added to a main program   
   (probably given by your teacher? one that contains   
   definitions for "totalguesses", "activeplayer" etc.?)   
   your teacher should have given you access to that main   
   program - ask him/her!   
      
   Otherwise you need to write your own testbench for this   
   procedure (a boring but such a necessary task - you should   
   have faced this task in earlier projects as well).   
      
   Cheers,
