    number guessing game script

    I don't know if this is the right place for this so someone please let me know if it isn't.

    This is my script that plays the number guessing game:

    [code=thinbasic]uses "console"

    dim Quit as long
    dim myNum as string
    dim guess as string
    dim Playing as long
    dim Play_again as long
    dim Result as string
    dim n as long
    dim Num_check as long
    dim Num_only as long
    dim Player_guess as long

    Intro()

    Quit = %false
    while Quit = %False

    randomize
    myNum = int(rnd(1,100))

    console_writeline("I've picked a number")
    console_writeline("")

    Playing = %false
    while Playing = %false

    Num_only = %false
    while Num_only = %false

    console_write("What is your guess? ")
    guess = int(console_readline())
    Num_check = VERIFY(guess, "0123456789")

    select case Num_check
    case <> 0
    console_writeline("Your guess MUST be a whole number!")
    console_writeline("")
    case else
    N = between(guess,1,99)
    if N <> 0 then
    Num_only = %true
    else
    console_writeline("Your guess is out of range!")
    console_writeline("Try again")
    console_writeline("")
    end if
    end select
    wend

    if guess < myNum then
    console_writeline("Your guess is too low!")
    console_writeline("")
    end if

    if guess > myNum then
    console_writeline("Your guess is too high!")
    console_writeline("")
    end if

    if guess = myNum then
    console_writeline("CONGRADULATIONS!!! YOU WON!")
    console_writeline("")
    Playing = %true
    end if

    wend


    console_write("Play again? ( (Y)es or (N)o )")

    Play_again = %false
    WHILE Play_again = %FALSE

    '---Read keyboard input
    Result = Console_inKeyb

    '---Handle returned string
    select case Result

    case "n","N"
    Console_Writeline("")
    console_writeline("GOODBYE!!!")
    n = sleep(1000)
    Play_again = %TRUE
    Quit = %true
    case "y","Y"
    Console_writeline("")
    console_writeline("")
    Play_again = %true
    end select
    wend

    wend

    function Intro()
    console_writeline("A Guessing Game!")
    console_writeline("")
    console_writeline("I will choose a number between 1 and 100.")
    console_writeline("You will try to guess the number. Whole numbers only.")
    Console_writeline("If your guess is higher than my number, I'll say 'too high'")
    console_writeline("If your guess is lower than my number, I'll say 'too low'")
    console_writeline("When you have guessed the number, you win")
    console_writeline("")
    end function
    [/code]

    If someone finds something wrong with this script Please let me know about it.

    Thanks

    Re: number guessing game script

    Hi,

    your script works very nice !

    Little tip - try to optimize the number comparsion using ELSEIF... ( not mandatory, but will come handy to know how it works in your future projects )


    Bye,

    Thanks for the reply and the kind words about the script. I'll keep the elseif in mind in future scripts.

    Thanks

    Re: number guessing game script

    Yes, Sandy. Good starting.

    I suppose Petr was referring to
    [code=thinbasic]
    IF guess < myNum THEN
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too low!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    END IF

    IF guess > myNum THEN
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too high!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    END IF

    IF guess = myNum THEN
    console_writeline ( "CONGRADULATIONS!!! YOU WON!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    Playing = %true
    END IF
    [/code]

    that can be rewritten to
    [code=thinbasic]
    IF guess < myNum THEN
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too low!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    ELSEIF guess > myNum THEN
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too high!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    ELSE '---here can only be equal
    console_writeline ( "CONGRADULATIONS!!! YOU WON!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    Playing = %true
    END IF[/code]

    or even
    [code=thinbasic]
    SELECT CASE guess
    CASE < myNum
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too low!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    CASE > myNum
    console_writeline ( "Your guess is too high!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    CASE myNum
    console_writeline ( "CONGRADULATIONS!!! YOU WON!" )
    console_writeline ( "" )
    Playing = %true
    END SELECT[/code]

    Re: number guessing game script

    Sandy very nice version of the game. Thanks, it is fun playing it again.

    If you want, next you can keep track of the player's guesses and depending on how many guess they take,
    you can print out a custom win message and tell them their score.

    Another thing would be to add user input requests and input in different colors.

    None of the above are necessary, the game is already fun to play and works great, just it will be
    nice things to work on learning how to do to help learn.

    Now back to the game to see if I can beat in less than 5 guesses

    ErosOlmi: You have permission to do anything you want with the code I post. If you feel that it is good enough to be included in the next preview then I'd be honored.

    I'm aware that the program could have things added to it. Maybe another beginner will fancy it up a bit.

    Thanks

    Hey, nice script Sandy. This reminds me of my childhood, where I played a boardgame called MASTERMIND a lot. You had to guess 4 colors on it.
