Ever wanted to create a console game in C? 🕹
⠀
See the steps to create a high or low game!

The high or low game

The concept of the high or low game is very simple, the program generates a random number between 1 and 1000 and the user tries to guess it in the least possible tries, and in each try the program informs the user if the generated number is higher or lower

We generate a random number between 1 and 1000.
We need a variable to let the user try to guess.

We need a loop that will be executed while the generatedNumber and the userNumber are different.
In the loop, we let the user try to guess the number.

If the two numbers are different we inform the user if the generatedNumber is higher or lower.
When we exit from the loop (so the user found the generatedNumber), we inform the user that he won.

Full code.

Output example.

Challenge :

Try to add these things to the game :

Count the number of tries and show it to the user when he wins
Give the possibility to the user to choose the difficulty (Easy : 1 -> 100, Medium : 1 -> 1000, Hard : 1 -> 10000)
Give the possibility to the user to play again if he wants
