different kind of number guessing game

[kryton9]

Yes Petr, it was one of my favorites as it is small and you can take it anywhere and play when you have time.
The only problem was you had to find someone to play with. Now with computers you can play anytime you want to
strengthen your logic skills.

Thanks for clarification guys,

so somebody else has to create "solution" and you guess it ?


Bye,

Yes, they have a hidden section at the end where they put their pegs and they have to tell you the results of your guesses.
The cool thing was the person setting it up had the fun of watching the guesser suffer in trying to figure out what the other setup.
So it was fun to play.

Sorry Sandy, my daily job is very busy right now and I didn't find time to be productive at home in the night.
I will try to do better. :-[

MikeHart, don't worry about it. I know what it's like to be too busy. It happens to me too, sometimes. Besides, I've been sick for the last week and haven't gotten anything done. I probably won't get anything done for the next week, at least. I'll get serious about programming when I can.

Thanks
Sandy

I hope you get better soon. I will ask my wife to light a candle for you.

I've just downloaded and installed the latest preview and have found that the program doesn't want to work with the work arounds that are in the script. I've started working to getting the script working and will have something as soon as I can.

I do have a question though. If I add a winner score board, should I test for the file and if it isn't there to build one or should I just have the program say there isn't a winner score board file on the hard disk?

I'm just not sure what the normal way to handle this is.

Thanks
Sandy

If would test and if it doesn't exist, create one.

Now about the visual help thingy. I thought you could create
something that would tell a person in colors the state of the number
he/she guest. Numbers in green are correct and on the correct position,
numbers in yellow exist but in a different position, numbers in red don't exist.

Example:

Correct number is 2017
Guess is 6215

Help output could be: 6215

Using the help should give a penalty on the score.

Interesting idea Mike. The penalty hurts, ouch. Like getting candy that is too hard to chew
