Hi Paul
Where do you input ans?
 and shouldn't
"if ans>numbah then"
be
"if ans>100 then"?
and how do you propose to escape from the loop?

Bye
Martin

  Does anyone know how to make a number guessing game? I think I've =
pretty much got it, but I need it to go back to the beginning. Right now =
it ends after you type in a number so I need to make it so that you can =
keep trying to get the number.

  Here;s what it looks like:

  numbah=3Drand(100)
  atom ans
  while 1 do

  if ans>numbah then
  position(6,1)
  puts(1,"Your number must be lower than 100.")
  elsif ans<numbah     then
  position(6,1)
  puts(1,"A little higher...")
  elsif ans>numbah then
  puts(1,"A little lower..")
  elsif ans=3Dnumbah
  puts(1,"You got it!")
  end if
  end while

  thanks
