HiLo - A Number Guessing Game

A PHP Program developed in parts

Algorithm:

Initialize:

• randomly invent a number between 0 and 100 ($mystery)
• set up ($up) and down ($down) to 100 and 0 respectively - these will track the reasonable boundaries of the user guesses, making it a little easier to guess
• initialise the number of guesses currently taken ($numguesses) to 0
• provide a spot for the user to take their guess (form)
• accept a "submit" to POST their guess

Game Progress:

• retrieve posted guess and other stuff (mystery, up and down)
• indicate another guess has been taken
• determine too low, too high or just right - adjusting boundaries if necessary
• feedback to user on their progress

Finesse

• manage form a little better
• store the number of guesses and a name and a date into a "highscores" table - need to make this and populate it with some test data first

Part 1 - variables
Part 2 - game play
Part 3 - posted turns
Part 4 - finesse
Part 5 - high scores
