Games: Guessing Game

In your existing Games project, you're going to create a number guessing game which accepts user input through the command line.

You should be able to start your project by running the following from the game folder in the command line.

iex -S mix

Then you can start the game with the Games.GuessingGame module.

Games.GuessingGame should prompt the user to guess a number between 1 and 10.

iex> Games.GuessingGame.play()
Guess a number between 1 and 10:

If the guess is correct, return a winning message.

Guess a number between 1 and 10: 10
You win!

if the guess is incorrect, return a failing message.

Guess a number between 1 and 10: 1
Incorrect!

Bonus: Re-Attempt

If the guess is incorrect, re-prompt the user to enter another guess until they succeed. This is harder problem than you might expect! See the future lesson on Recursion for more information.

Enter your guess: 10
Incorrect!
Enter your guess: 5
Incorrect!
Enter your guess: 7
Correct!

Bonus: High Or Low!

If the guess is too high or low, prompt the user with informative feedback.

Enter your guess: 10
Too High!
Enter your guess: 5
Too Low!
Enter your guess: 7
Correct!

Limited Attempts

Give the user 5 attempts to guess the answer. Print a losing message and end the game if they don't guess the answer.

Enter your guess: 10
Too high!
Enter your guess: 9
Too high!
Enter your guess: 8
Too high!
Enter your guess: 7
Too high!
Enter your guess: 6
Too high!
Enter your guess: 5
You lose! the answer was 4
