INTRODUCTION

GuessingGame is a simple game written in a variety of programming languages, so

that the languages themselves can be compared.  The program covers many

programming fundamentals: variable declaration and manipulation (strings and

integers), screen output, keyboard input, loops, if statements, file input and

file output.

EXAMPLE

Below is an example of playing the guessing game. The program randomly picks a

number which you try to guess.  You enter your name which is saved to a high

score file and the previous high scores are printed out.  The version here is

the Perl version, however all versions are designed to appear as identical as

possible:

  mars:> ./guess.pl

  guess.pl - Guess a number between 1 and 100

  

  Enter guess 1: 50

  Higher...

  Enter guess 2: 75

  Lower... 

  Enter guess 3: 67

  Lower... 

  Enter guess 4: 58

  Lower... 

  Enter guess 5: 54

  Higher...

  Enter guess 6: 56

  Lower... 

  Enter guess 7: 55

  Correct! That took 7 guesses.

  

  Please enter your name: Brendan Gregg

  

  Previous high scores,

  Fred Nurk 5

  Fred 6

  Brendan Gregg 7

And the high score file was:

  mars:> ls -l highscores_pl 

  -rw-r--r--   1 brendan  other         35 Oct 26 01:31 highscores_pl

INSTALLATION

The programs are in the "src" directory.  At the top of each program is a comment

that describes how to run the program, and compile it if necessary.  There is no

installer (or Makefile), instead, read the programs themselves.

Any additional documentation is in the "doc" directory.
