Guess the Number is a logic puzzle game where you must deduce a hidden sequence of digits.
- Computer generates a secret number of unique digits (3-6 digits based on difficulty).
- Enter your guess to receive feedback: Bulls and Cows.
- Bull: Correct digit in correct position.
- Cow: Correct digit in wrong position.
- Use feedback to eliminate impossibilities and find the secret code.
Based on the classic Bulls and Cows game:
- Secret number has unique digits only (no repeats).
- Guesses must also have the same length and unique digits.
- Feedback given after each guess (Bulls/Cows).
- Unlimited guesses/time in single player (within reason).
- Multiplayer: Turn-based with timer per turn.
Rewards efficiency and logical thinking.
- Points for discovering digits (+50) and finding positions (+100).
- Major score determined by low attempt count.
- Time bonus for fast solutions.
- Higher difficulty (more digits) = higher potential score.
Success requires systematic logical thinking:
- Start with a diverse guess (e.g., '1234') to test multiple digits.
- 0 Bulls/0 Cows means you can eliminate all those digits.
- Systematically test arrangements of known digits (cows).
- Keep mental or written notes of what you've learned.
- Don't guess randomly - use logic!
