Description

This project is a simple number guessing game to occupy yourself during your programming sessions, while waiting for some big program to compile, a linux package to install, or an update to download !

Usage and rules

• When launching the script, the first argument will be the player's lifes, the second one will be the number selection seed (from 0 to arg2); ./shell_guess.sh lives seed .
• Launching the script without arguments wil result in default settings (5 lives, from 0 to 10 selection).
• Guessing the number correctly from the first try will terminate the game as a win.
• Guessing the number incorrectly will remove a life.
• Guessing the number correctly will grant an additional life.
• Losing all lifes will terminate the game as a loss.
• Guessing the number correctly multiple times in a row will put you on a streak.
