Hey, cool, Sylvain - thanks!! I'd forgotten that particular Perl paradigm - I've been away from it for too long, I guess. I'll change my version here, because that neatly demonstrates the Perl mantra: TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It)!

And because I'm in the mood, here's a version for Python 3.x, written in a very plain-vanilla style:

Code:


# guess.py (for Python 3)
import random
name = input("Hi there, what's your name? ")
play = input("OK, " + name + ", would you like to play a game? ")
while play.upper() == 'Y' :
    number = int(random.random() * 100) + 1
    print("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.")
    print("You've got to try to guess it.")
    guess = int(input("What's your guess? "))
    while guess != number :
        if guess > number :
            print("Too high! ")
        if guess < number :
            print("Too low! ")
        guess = int(input("What's your next guess? "))
    print("You got it, " + name + "!!!\n")
    play = input("Play again? ")
