Here's what we ended up with:
# Answerer selects a number 1..100
# Guesser gets 7 guesses to pick the right number
# Ask guesser for a guess
# Check guess to see if correct
# Tell guesser if they were correct, high, or low
# Repeat until correct or out of guesses
# Player class, Game class?
class Game
def initialize
@answer = rand 1..100
@guesses_left = 7
@status = 'playing' # 'won', or 'lost'
end
def finished?
@status != 'playing'
end
def check_guess guess
hot_or_cold guess
@guesses_left -= 1
if @guesses_left.zero? && @status != 'won'
@status = 'lost'
end
@guess == @answer
end
def hot_or_cold guess
if guess < @answer
puts "Too low"
elsif guess > @answer
puts "Too high"
else
@status = 'won'
end
end
# attr_reader :guesses_left
def guesses_left
@guesses_left
end
def status
@status
end
end
class Player
def get_guess
puts "What do you guess?"
print "> "
gets.chomp.to_i
end
end
class DumbAI
def get_guess
guess = rand 1..100
puts "Guessed: #{guess}"
guess
end
end
game = Game.new
player = DumbAI.new # Player.new
until game.finished?
puts "You have #{game.guesses_left} guesses remaining"
guess = player.get_guess
game.check_guess guess
end
puts "Result: #{game.status}"Some ideas for going further -
- Try writing something hangman from scratch similarly
- Add classes for players - human, random guessing, smart AI
