🎯 Number Guessing Game

A CLI number guessing game written in Python. The computer picks a random number from your chosen range — you have to guess it. Chances are calculated using binary search math so you always get the optimal number of guesses.

How it works

The number of chances you get is calculated as:

chances = ceil(log2(range_size))

This means if the range is 1–100, you get 7 chances — the exact number needed to find any number using binary search. No more, no less.

Demo

Enter range yourself or let me choose? [Y = me]: n
Start: 1
End: 100
Guessing between 1 and 100.

Your guess: 50
Try HIGHER. 6 chances left.

Your guess: 75
Try LOWER. 5 chances left.

Your guess: 62
Try HIGHER. 4 chances left.

Your guess: 68
You got it! 🎉

Play again? [Y/N]: n
Thanks for playing. Bye!
