General information

• This is a simple console application of "Guess the Number" game. It was written in pure C.
• The project presents my programming skills how I do write code taking care of several optimisations.
• The game selects random integer from specific range and player must guess what this number is. If he will choose lower number, then he receives a tip that this number is higher.
• When the game is over, it shows how many tries player needed to guess the right number.
• Win condition: player has selected correct number
• Lose condition: none

Used technologies

• "Visual Studio Code" IDE for writing code
• GCC compiler (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project) 12.1.0

Features

• Adjustable range of integers (the game works only with POSITIVE values!)
• Validation of numbers range (minimum greater than maximum and minimum equal to maximum)
• Validation of typed number (used technique from this link)

Usage

• Type a whole number when prompted

Compilation

Visual Studio Code

• If you are using "Visual Studio Code":
  1. Install a plugin for C/C++ compilation from this link
  2. Select Terminal, Configure default compilation tasks and choose your desired compiler
  3. Go to tasks.json file existing in .vscode directory, find created task, find the args keyword and replace default entries with these ones (after the -g entry):
     • "${fileDirname}\\*.c",
     • "${fileDirname}\\*.h",
  4. Select main.c file
  5. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to compile
  6. Select Terminal, New terminal
  7. Launch the game typing ./main

GCC

• You can also compile the game using GCC compiler:
  1. Launch command prompt with administrator privileges
  2. Go to directory where this README file is using cd command
  3. Enter this command: gcc -o main main.c communicator.c game.c input.c typedNumbers.c
  4. Launch the game typing main
