Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/number-guessing-game.git cd number-guessing-game -
Build the application:
go build -o guess ./cmd/guess
-
Run the game:
./guess
Upon running the game, you'll be greeted with a welcome message and prompted to select a difficulty level. Enter the corresponding number to choose your difficulty:
- Easy: 10 chances
- Medium: 5 chances
- Hard: 3 chances
After selecting the difficulty, start guessing the number between 1 and 100. After each guess, you'll receive feedback indicating whether the target number is higher or lower than your guess, along with a hint to help you.
The game ends when you either guess the correct number or run out of chances. After each round, you can choose to play again or exit.
High scores are tracked based on the fewest number of attempts and the shortest time taken to guess the number for each difficulty level. High scores are stored in highscores.json in the project directory.
