Final project: guess the number game  (repo here)

Not a lot new here, I actually thought it was significantly easier than the blackjack game, so it was a nice reprieve. I wrote it without assistance again, so this version is my take on the solution as a first prototype. It works.

I feel like the penalize_player() function is kind of unnecessary, I only did it to avoid a couple of lines of repeated code, but that then necessitated rewriting all the turn count decrements as results of return rather than a direct decrement (which is easier to read). Whatever! Best number guessing game I’ve written in a while.

Also spent some time reviewing a roadmap toward hopeful freelance work in the blockchain space. I feel like I am incredibly late to the party, but there’s no time other than now. I can’t do anything about past decisions. So let’s do this. It does mean I have to add a javascript review (which I may do as part of another 100 days) as well as some serious react learning. (Maybe a CSS intensive also. I need enough to make a lightweight, responsive front-end and it isn’t completely foreign, it has just been a while and I really want to make sure to use the current thinking patterns as regards…well everything.)
