Built a terminal number guessing game where you go head to head against a computer. You both guess each other’s numbers and whoever does it in fewer tries wins. The computer uses binary search so it finds any number between 1-100 in 7 guesses max good luck beating it.

The trickiest part was getting the binary search logic right and setting up GitHub Actions to build binaries for Windows, Linux, and Mac automatically on every release.

To test it, download the binary for your OS from the releases page and run it. No Python needed.

Devlog #1

Built a terminal number guessing game in Python where you race against a computer. You guess its number, it guesses yours, fewest tries wins. The computer uses binary search so it finds any number between 1-100 in 7 guesses max.

Ran into an infinite loop bug early on, fixed the git email privacy block, fought with GitHub Actions for cross-platform builds. Got it shipped to GitHub with a workflow for Windows, Linux, and Mac binaries. Mac build is still being annoying.
