From Dream to Code: Guessing Game

Waking Up and Coding

Hello everyone! I’m Void Main. This is a special entry because it wasn’t planned. The idea for this project came to my mind last night before I slept. I kept thinking about the logic, slept with the idea, and the moment I woke up, I grabbed my laptop and started coding.

The Number Guessing Game

The project is a classic Number Guessing Game. The computer picks a random number, and the user has to guess it with hints like “Too High” or “Too Low”.

I didn’t want to just use the standard Random class. I did some research and implemented ThreadLocalRandom, which is a more efficient way to generate numbers in modern Java.

// Generating a number between 1 and 100
int randomNumber = ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(1, 101);

I also focused on making the game “crash-proof”. If a user enters text instead of a number, the program catches the error and clears the buffer so the game continues smoothly.

try 
{
    int num = sc.nextInt();
    obj.Guess(num, randomNumber);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    System.out.println("Please enter a number!");
    sc.nextLine(); // Clears the invalid input
}

You can find the complete source code on my Github.

Future Improvements

I am planning to add a counter to limit the number of attempts, making the game more challenging.

System.out.println("Wishing everyone a Happy New Year");
