I put in something like 10,010,001 -- and it accepted it. This got me thinking that I was supposed to be inputting my guesses in binary, which I now realize is not how the game works.
- seanc 5y agoIt's a 10 bit number so I think you mean 1023, but yeah.

- James-Livesey 5y agoGood idea! Might add a limit to the number of chars the user can input. Thanks for your feedback!
- gojomo 5y agoOTOH, doing dumb (but consistent/logical) things with players' input could enhance a metalesson about how computers often misunderstand intent, or common overflow/format/etc bugs. With such a simple core game, figuring-out-the-underspecified-rules-of-the-game can be part of the true metagame. Or as an easter egg, maybe you can enter binary & others - but precisely, as a programmer must, as `0b00000000` (etc).
