How To Make A Java Guessing Game?

[piggykid1]

I tried making my own and kept getting errors, so i was wondering how you guys do it.

Thanks!

Could you post your code please?

 

The basic stages would be:

 

1-generate a random number

2-ask user for input

3-if user input is not equal to the random number ask the user to enter another number

4-else if user input is equal to the right number tell the user they got the right number

 

Hope this helps.

 

Edit: I presumed you meant a guessing game with numbers. I'm also guessing this is with a gui and not console based.

Have a guess!

But on a serious note:

We need something to work with if you want us to help you, show us what parts of the code are causing troubles, and what logic you're going after.

Note that a simple guessing game can use simple if-else statements and any looping statements together with necessary variable declarations.

Here's one I made a while ago for a school project:

 

 

/**

 * This program is a game where the computer picks a random number and the user must guess it
 * JDK 1.7.0
 */

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class GuessingGame {
    
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    //Main method
    int computerNumber=(int) (Math.random()* 100+1);
    System.out.println("The correct guess would be " + computerNumber);
    String response=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
        "Enter a guess between 1 and 100","Guessing Game", 3);
    int userAnswer=Integer.parseInt(response);
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your guess is "
        + determineGuess(userAnswer, computerNumber));
    
    }
    
    public static String determineGuess (int userAnswer, int computerNumber) {
    if (userAnswer <= 0 || userAnswer > 100)
    {
        return "invaled";
    } else if (userAnswer == computerNumber)
    {
        return "correct";
    } else
    {
        return "incorrect";
    }
    
        
    }
    }

 

It does the game in a JPane and it outputs the correct number in the Output for testing reasons.
