### Hi-Lo
|
|
|
|
This game is an adaptation of the game GUESS; however, instead of just guessing a number between 1 and 100, in this game you win dollars when you guess the number. The directions, in the words of the author, are as follows:
|
|
1. There is an amount of money, between one and one hundred dollars, in the “HI-LO” jackpot.
|
|
2. You will have six chances in which to guess the amount of money in the jackpot.
|
|
3. After each guess, the computer will tell whether the guess was too high or too low.
|
|
4. If the correct amount of money is not guessed after six chances, the computer will print the amount in the jackpot.
|
|
5. If the correct amount of money is guessed within the six chance limit, the computer will register this amount.
|
|
6. After each sequence of guesses, you have the choice of playing again or ending the program. If a new game is played, a new amount of money will constitute the jackpot.
|
|
7. If youwin more than once, then your earnings are totalled.
