Instructions

This is an early project and fun game to play in your console! All you need to do is cd into the project app and run the app with this command: node guessing-game. After that, just follow the prompts, and have fun! (If you need to get out of the game, ctl-c will do the trick)

Code

The application utilizes readline and functional programming to take the player through a series of questions to guess a random number between their chosen min and max.

Guess function

function askGuess() {
    rl.question("Enter a guess: ", answer => {
        let guess = Number(answer)
        checkGuess(guess)
        if (guess === secretNumber) {
            console.log("You win!")
            rl.close()
        } else if (guess !== secretNumber && numAttempts > 1) {
            numAttempts--
            console.log(`You have ${numAttempts} attempts left!`)
            askGuess()
        } else if (numAttempts === 1) {
            console.log("Sorry, you lost!")
            rl.close()
        }
    })
}

A little creativity with the player names (for the kids)

function askPlayerName() {
    rl.question("Welcome! What is your name? ", name => {
        if (name === 'Ella') {
            console.log(`Hello ${name}-cutie pie! Step right up and try your luck.`)
        } else if (name === 'Calvin') {
            console.log(`Hello ${name}-bo-balvin! Step right up and try your luck.`)
        } else if (name === 'Louis') {
            console.log(`Hello ${name}-the-stud! Step right up and try your luck.`)

        } else if (name === 'Theo') {
            console.log(`Hello ${name}-dorable! Step right up and try your luck.`)
        } else if (name === 'Peter') {
            console.log(`Hello ${name} Pan! Step right up and try your luck.`)
        } else {
            console.log("I'm sure you're my gorgeous wife. You can play any time baby!")
        }
        askLimit();
    })
}
