Here's another way to do it:

<code follows>
-- program:  guess a random number

include get.e -- to allow use of "prompt_number" & "wait_key"

integer numbah  -- number to guess
atom ans            -- players guess
object continue  -- does user want to continue playing

numbah=3Drand(100)

while 1 do
    ans =3D prompt_number("Guess a number", {1,100}) -- get guess; =
number range is 1 to 100
    if ans<numbah then
        puts(1,"A little higher...")
    elsif ans>numbah then
        puts(1,"A little lower..")=20
    elsif ans=3Dnumbah then
        puts(1,"You got it! Do you want to guess another number? (y/n)")
       continue =3D wait_key() -- get next key press
       if continue !=3D 'y' then -- anything but 'y' exits loop
          exit
       else
         clear_screen()
      end if
   end if
end while

<code ends>

NOTE:  "continue" had to be "object" type, "sequence" type gave type =
check error; why?

  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
