[Solved] Batch file Number guessing game problem

Nice attempt, However there were some errors. Corrected them and removed few lines which can be removed without thinking much. The working version is below Tip : %random:~0,2% will give you numbers below 100 so we can skip the check whether the random is lower then 100 or not #1. you should be assigning set a random value to the variable which can be utilize later to find the winner. not using random itself as a variable. #2. Check the line where you were assiging value to %web variable. you will get what was missing. #3. Scan below one, i know you will catch the points. ============================================================ @echo off :MAIN cls set number=%random:~0,2% ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo MISTER FOX'S NUMBER GUESSING GAME! ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo It's easy to play! ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo The computer generates a number between 1 and 100, and you try to guess it! ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul echo. ping localhost -n 1 >nul pause cls echo echo. echo. echo. echo "To begin the game, type your name and press Enter": set /p web= :HOME cls echo Well %web% Now GUESS THE NUMBER! echo. echo. set /p guess= echo if %guess% LSS %number% goto LOWER if %guess% GTR %number% goto HIGHER if %guess% EQU %number% goto WINNER :LOWER cls echo Your guess is lower than the number! echo. echo. pause goto HOME :HIGHER cls echo Your guess is higher than the number! echo. echo. pause goto HOME :WINNER cls echo ------------------------------- echo Congratulations, %name%!

you can improve it further like this. instead of if %guess% LSS %number% goto LOWER you can use this if %guess% LSS %number% ( echo. echo. echo you guess is lower, try again echo. echo. ) - Subhash  Monthly giveaway -  Must have Online safety Guide

Your edited file works great, but there's one problem- the random number is always 16

Sorry about my post about the number always being 16. It works fine. I guess the 16 thing was some MAJOR coincidence. And now I know a lot more about batch, thanks!
