Re: Guessing Game

Thank you so much Craig!!! You saved the day for me! I changed the code slightly, simply to customize it for my needs, but it works beautifully, and in just the way I wanted it to.

Re: Guessing Game

Jacque, thank you for the information. I am more familiar with Java and C#, so I am used to using ampersands. Hi Craig. That code works well, but I am hoping to find a way to continue the input from the field, rather than the ask window. I tried to edit the code to work with the field, but I have no...

Re: Guessing Game

Hi Craig. Thanks for the advice. I think that is exactly what is happening, since it works without the if statement around the random code, but I'm not entirely sure how to resolve that.

I get the message "button "Submit Guess": execution error at line 17 (Operators -: error in left operand), char 5" without the repeat loop and "button "Submit Guess": execut...

Re: Guessing Game

Hi Simon! Thanks for pointing me to that thread. I tried the suggestions listed, and I am still having trouble, but I'm not really sure why. The code worked before, except for the infinite answer loop, but now, I'm getting an error whenever I run it. I added to my previous code: if theAnswer is empt...
